Gentiva Hospice

Gentiva Hospice works with local healthcare providers to develop a personalized hospice care plan that delivers the superior service that our patients and their families deserve. Our team of experienced hospice professionals will implement a holistic approach to the physical, spiritual, and emotional care our patients have come to expect and appreciate.

The services you will give as a hospice volunteer will profoundly improve the quality of our patient's lives. Friendly visits enable families to keep their loved ones at home, around the people they love, and the things they love. Assisting with errands helps a tired family cope with their many challenges and allows them time with their loved one. Simply holding a patient's hand can ease their mind and comfort their spirit. Volunteering takes no advanced medical training or great commitment. It can be as simple as reading to, or spending time with a patient a few hours a week. It is small deeds of kindness that so profoundly enhance the lives of our patients and those who love them. There are many kinds of Hospice volunteers. Our volunteers include individuals, families, businesses, youth and school groups, civic organizations and churches. Volunteer candidates go through interview and screening processes to ensure the safety of our patients and their families. All hospice volunteers are given assignments that best suit their time, skills and interests. Our volunteers are thoroughly trained and supported in the skills they need for the volunteer role. Background check, drug screening, & TB testing are all required; however, costs are covered by the company. The on-boarding process takes about two weeks from interview to the assignment of a volunteer's first patient as we also provide orientation/training.
