Volunteers are an important part of the team at Treasure Coast Hospice. We serve Martin, Saint Lucie, and Okeechobee counties and offer a variety of volunteer opportunities in Fort Pierce, Port Saint Lucie, Stuart, and Okeechobee to fit your schedule and lifestyle.
Q: What does a Hospice volunteer do?
A: There are a variety of volunteer opportunities at Treasure Coast Hospices. Patient Visitor Volunteers visit Hospice patients in their home, assisted living residence, or skill nursing facility (nursing home). The volunteer offers emotional support and socialization to the patient and their family. The volunteer may read to the patient, help write a letter, run an errand, fix a meal, or offer a much needed break to a caregiver.
Administrative volunteers offer office support by filing, making copies, and other tasks at the office. Thrift Store volunteers work at one of the Hope Chest Thrift Stores sorting and pricing donated merchandise, working as a cashier, and providing customer service.
Q: Why are volunteers important at Treasure Coast Hospice?
A: Volunteers are important to Treasure Coast Hospice because they provide support for our staff. They are part of our interdisciplinary team of patient care. Five percent of all paid patient care hours provided by our staff must be volunteer hours in order for our organization to be Medicare reimbursed.
Q: How much time is suggested to donate as a volunteer?
A: We ask that you give 2-4 hours per week realizing that volunteers have their own schedules and activities and that you are giving us a special gift...your time. We will work around your schedule!
Q: Do I need a health care background?
A: No. We will provide you with the education and tools that you need to do your volunteer work effectively.
