Volunteer: Visit hospice patients at home and/or in nursing homes

We have ongoing needs for volunteers to support our patients and their loved ones. Patients at home often need someone to sit with them, so that their caregiver can leave the home to run errands or attend appointments. Patients who live alone benefit from companionship visits and even a volunteer who may help tidy their home or cook for them. Patients who have pets may wish for a volunteer to spend time with their animals (dog walking or playing with pets). Musicians can play/sing for patients. Volunteers who enjoy arts and crafts can guide patients in creating.

Patients in nursing homes often don't have anyone to visit them or their loved ones worry because they aren't able to visit as often as they'd like. Volunteers who visit patients in facilities talk with or read to patients, help their patients participate in facility activities like Bingo or meal times.

Most patients who want a volunteer only need a once a week visit. The visits are typically between 2-4 hours, depending on volunteer availability. Depending on a patient's condition, a volunteer may only visit once or they may have a long-term relationship. 

Note to students: Weekly shifts are not guaranteed for these types of visits; there are times when patients do not need support.

Volunteering is typically flexible with the volunteers' availability.
If you are interested, please apply here (you must complete an application, interview, and complete onboarding before volunteering).

Thank you!

Volunteer: Murfreesboro In-Patient Unit Volunteers

We have two roles for volunteers at our Murfreesboro In-Patient Unit. This is an hour from Belmont campus.

The first role is at the front desk. A shift there is 3-4 hours, once a week or once every-other-week. It involves sitting at the desk and welcoming guests, showing them how to sign in, and if they need additional assistance, walking them to the room they're there to visit. Students are able to bring a laptop or books to study during this time.

The other role is for anywhere between 1-4 hours, depending on volunteer availability. It involves pushing our hospitality cart from room to room, offering snacks and other comfort items to patients and their guests. Some guests only want a treat and others want the volunteer to spend time with them, talking about their lives.

There is also the additional opportunity for a musical volunteer to visit patients and play/sing for them.

If you are interested in this, please apply here (you must complete an application, interview, and training before volunteering).

Thank you!
