Do you want to provide comfort and companionship to patients during their final moments? As a NODA (No One Dies Alone) Volunteer with CorsoCare, you’ll ensure that patients are not alone at the end of life, offering a calm and compassionate presence.
What You’ll Do
Sit by the bedside, providing a calming presence for patients who may not be conscious or
responsive
Offer supportive presence through gentle conversation, reading, soft music, or gentle touch
Support grieving families at the bedside, providing reassurance and compassion
Engage in life review when possible – help patients share memories, reflect on their life journey, and leave a meaningful legacy
How NODA Volunteering Works
NODA shifts are based on specific patient need and may not follow a regular schedule
Requests can happen at any time; when a need arises, a notification is sent to all NODA volunteers.
Volunteers may pick up 1–3 hours if they are available, but there is no requirement to respond if they cannot
We suggest volunteers maintain a regular schedule as a Companionship Volunteer while keeping on-call availability for NODA
