Today is a great day to bring a smile to those who really need it!
Heartland Hospice of Dayton is looking for compassionate people to join our volunteer team to become a Friendly Volunteer to one of our amazing patients!
What will I be doing?
As a friendly volunteer, you will be connected to one of our wonderful patients to visit and provide companionship in their home or a facility.
Some activities you will do with your patient is:
- Talk about the week, weather, family, holiday, etc
- Watch a favorite TV show or movie
- Read a book, newspaper, magazine
- Listen to music
- Doing small crafts or puzzles
- play games
- and so much more
Where will I be going for the visits?
We have an office in Kettering. Our patients are living in their own homes or in a facility across the Dayton area covering 7 counties. We will do our best to connect you with someone near you.
What kind of commitment will this take?
We are very flexible with your schedule and will work with what you are able and wanting to do. You can visit once a week, twice a week or something that works with your schedule.
What is required of me to becoming a volunteer?
There is no experience needed. We will provide all the training you need at no cost to you.
We do require a Background Check, Drug Screening, Fingerprint and TB Test. We cover all cost and walk you through the whole process.
What are my next steps?
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please complete your interest and submit any information to our Volunteer Coordinator, Ashley Fugitt. She will reach out to you via email or phone call with more information.
