Companion Volunteer for hospice patients and caregivers (non-medical) (Winder area)

In person volunteers needed for patients that are either still in their home and / or with patients that reside in assisted living facilities. The goal of the volunteer is to provide much needed companionship and socialization to patients and often the caregivers as well. A volunteer visit may consist simply of socializing with the patient, the caregiver or both. Often caregivers are in desperate need of a break and would like a volunteer to stay with their loved one while the caregiver runs an errand, goes to an appointment or just takes some time to himself / herself. Activities while in the home or facility may include reading, listening, talking, a life review, watching a patient’s favorite shows, light housekeeping, playing board or card games, scrapbooking, looking at books, fidget blankets, coloring, puzzles, respite, singing, playing musical instruments, sitting outside and enjoying the weather...
