    Description

    As a volunteer for patients, you give companionship to our patients and show compassion to their families. If the patient is in a facility and they are wheelchair bound, you might push them around the area or even take them outside. If the patient is at home, you would be giving the caregiver a chance to simply be a person without being a caregiver knowing that their loved one is being watched by you.

    We also have an opening for someone to make weekly phone calls to our patients on Wednesdays to ask if they need any supplies or medicine refills.

    If you like to talk, these opportunities are for you.

    I will try to match you with a patient that is close to you (within 20 minute's drive)

    The requirements are that you are at least 18, drive with insurance, have references and pass a drug screen.

    If you are bilingual, please apply. We have worked with patients that speak Spanish, Vietnamese and other languages.
