MORE INFORMATION:

A.N.G.E.L.S. consists of Volunteers that provide bedside support to our patients with a calming presence during the final days and hours of life. Volunteers can read, pray, hold their hand and just "be there" for our patients during the final hours/days of life. These volunteers are needed on a quick response basis to give respite to the family or when family is not present.  No one should die alone. 

This position is as needed.  When someone is in the last days of life, the coordinator would contact you to ask if you have any availability to help.  We realize you have other things in your life and it is always OK to say no.  Patients are either in their home or a care facility.

Training is provided.  Must be at least 18.  Requires persons who can demonstrate empathy, compassion, and respect.  Good communications skills are a must.  Call Ann-Marie Fleming at 920-452-1851 or email ann-marie.fleming@compassus.com to learn more and join our team of caring helpers.

Still Recruiting, but in-person services are on hold due to COVID-19. Social distancing options are available.

Items will be sent to patients at various locations.

“Quietly sitting with patients is sometimes all that's needed to offer comfort to patients.”   -Dale Willis

Friendly Visitor Volunteers - bring the "gift of friendship" to our patients and their families. Regular visits every week or two really brighten the days of our patients. When you bring a smile to them, hold their hand, talk with them, watch television, play bingo, or take walks with them your gift of time helps offer support and companionship!  It is also a comfort to the families to know another caring individual is looking in on them.

We serve hospice patients in various care facilities and in their homes throughout Sheboygan County.  This means there is probably a patient close to you.  Scheduling is flexible and most volunteers commit to four to eight hours per month.  More hours can be done.  Scheduling of visits is also flexible to meet your schedule.   Please consider giving the gift of your time and presence.  You will get so much more in return.

This opportunity will let you practice soft and social skills such as active listening, empathy and conversation.  It will also give you experience in a health care environment.  Both of which are pluses on a resume.  Training is provided at no charge.

Volunteers must be 18 or older with good interpersonal and communication skills.  They must have the ability to work independently with indirect supervision and a willingness to help others as a member of the hospice team. Compassus does an in-depth background check.

Any questions, please  call 920-452-1851 or email ann-marie.fleming@compassus.com to learn more about joining our caring family.
