Hospice- Patient Care Volunteer

Tranquil Care Hospice provides support and comfort to those diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Our mission is to support and provide care for a patient to deal with death in a “tranquil” and peaceful manner, allowing them to comfortably move on with positive thoughts and memories.

As a patient care Volunteer, you may read a book, listen to a life story, give a break to family caregivers, play soothing music from your iPad, or just hold a hand at the bedside. In some cases, the patient may not be able to engage in normal conversations due to terminal illnesses. In this case, the Volunteer’s main role is to be present and sit with the patient to give the family members a break from the toll of caregiving.

We serve patients on the Westside, convenient to UCLA. There are flexible hours to fit your class and general schedule. An orientation and training is provided after all application forms are completed. A nine-month commitment is requested for the Volunteer position.
