Making a Difference

Benefits of Volunteering

Compassionate, skilled volunteers are the heart and soul of CompassionCare Hospice.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, you probably have been touched by the experience of hospice care-either within your own family or through a friend, neighbor, or co-worker. Our volunteers report they are motivated by a desire to give something back, but soon find that the spiritual and emotional rewards they receive far outweigh the time and caring they contribute.

The gifts of time, energy and talent received from volunteers are some of CompassionCare’s most valued resources. Trained volunteers are essential members of our care teams—without them, we could not provide the comprehensive, high-quality care that we do.

CompassionCare volunteers range from students to retirees, homemakers to professionals, individuals to service groups. They come from all areas of Nevada and represent many different faiths and cultures. Although all have different reasons for volunteering, they have one thing in common—a caring nature and the desire to provide support to those facing the end of life.

Our volunteers are considered to be unpaid staff. They always have and always will play key roles throughout the organization.

If you choose to work directly with patients and loved ones, you can experience the fulfillment of helping to support patients and families through one of life’s most complex passages.

Volunteers are needed in areas such as:

• Compassionate and Emotional Support
• Sitting with Patients
• Small Errands
• Crafts and Holiday Activities
• Office Help
