VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

PLEASE CONTACT US NOW!
Gentiva Hospice DeFuniak Springs
850-951-9849

IMAGINE a time when you have felt alone and abandoned. This is how many people feel as they age or become ill and less able to participate in society!

IMAGINE that you can make that difference in someone else's life between feeling unloved or unnecessary, to loved and wanted!

IMAGINE your parent or grandparent sitting alone and needing someone to reach out and make them feel a part of the community!

YOU COULD BE THAT PERSON! YOU CAN BE THAT PERSON TODAY!

We are looking for volunteers to hold a hand, share a story, send a card, listen, read, or sing. We are looking for someone who could run errands or perform light housekeeping. Someone to share flowers, bake some cookies, or garden. Someone who can, at times, relate to our veterans. Maybe someone to just come to sit, talk, and listen! Having another presence other than the four walls of their room is an amazing gift!

Gentiva Hospice is an organization that cares for people with a life-limiting illness and a life expectancy of 6 months or less who have chosen to focus on comfort care over treatment.

As a volunteer, you would provide our patients with the necessary companionship and comfort to give them a sense of worth and well-being!

Requirements include passing a background check, a drug test, a fingerprint exam, and a TB test (provided by the office). After these requirements are completed, you will receive training on how to be a volunteer and what is required to provide the best care possible while following company guidelines. Finally, the main requirement is a ready smile and a willing attitude!

If you have a multi-language background, this is extremely helpful. Some of our patients understand their native language better than English, and we also have opportunities for ASL interpreters! We want to do everything we can to make our patients feel all-inclusive and well-understood!

The Covid-19 virus has taken a toll on our precious patients, and it is now time to give them the comfort of companionship and fellowship. You could be the one person in the patient's life to bring a smile.

This opportunity is open to all of Walton County, FL., and Okaloosa County, FL.

Please call us today, and let us start you on the path of the most rewarding program you have ever encountered with the most professional and caring company!

DeFuniak Springs is on the road to having a Veteran's Lodge built right here in this quaint little community.
We just received word at our local Regency Hospice office that all of the permits have been approved, and construction has begun. They are in the land clearing phase and expect to have vertical construction begin within the next 90 days.
All of us are very excited about this wonderful program coming here!
