Amedisys Hospice of Birmingham
Patient companions allow caregivers a much needed break from their daily routine of caring for their terminally ill loved one.
Our volunteers also provide companionship, whether it be talking, playing games, reading, watching TV, or just sitting quietly. It is a welcome socialization for someone who is homebound.
In addition to regular daytime hours, families can use support during evenings and weekends.
Volunteers are also needed to assist with yard work; provide an occasional meal; or bake a small cake or cupcakes to celebrate a patient's birthday.
Background checks and training are required.
