Direct Care Volunteers at Pine Tree Hospice visit individuals in homes and facilities. They are non-medical volunteers and primarily offer companionship. They may transport people to appointments, offer respite, check in with a phone call, do light housekeeping, go grocery shopping, play cards, and go for rides. In our rural area, many individuals are isolated, and a visit from a volunteer is often the high point in their week. Because we are a non-medical hospice, a volunteer can serve the same client for months or years. There is no minimum or maximum weekly time commitment.
