Volunteer Opportunities for Senior Citizens – East Texas and Golden Triangle Region

Caring for Hospice Patients

Are you looking for a meaningful Beaumont senior volunteer opportunity – consider volunteering with Hospice care providers in Southeast Texas, Sam Rayburn, and the Lufkin area.

Southeast Texans, particularly Southeast Texas senior citizens are a big hearted group.

Golden Triangle senior citizens can be found volunteering in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, and Silsbee museums, our Southeast Texas Hospitals, with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, with local festivals and rodeos, and in hundreds of other ways.

Many Southeast Texas senior citizens who have been touched by the difference Hospice has made in the life of a friend or family member spend time volunteering with local Hospice organizations.

Volunteers are literally, the heart of Hospice care in Southeast Texas, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for patients and their families. Every day,  for Hospice agencies from Beaumont and Port Arthur to Lufkin and Nacogdoches, volunteers make a difference in the lives of so many people.

Whether they offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for patients, provide grief support, serve as a companion to loved ones or share their personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the time given to Harbor Hospice families by volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of their lives.

As a volunteer for Hospice services in Southeast Texas’ Patient Care Services, you “do good” every day. It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as hospice patient care volunteers.

Here are some examples of the activities you can assist with:

• Reading to a patient, or holding a hand
• Spending time with a patient while family members take a needed break or keep an appointment
• Grocery shopping or running errands for a patient
• Listening – what can we do that is more appreciated?
• Helping patients write or tell their life stories via audio or video recording
• Cooking, light household chores
• Providing help with makeup and hair
• Assisting with bathing, shaving or other personal care
• Working on crafts or other projects

Call your chosen hospice care agency in Lufkin, Jasper, Woodville, or Beaumont. They would love to have your assistance.
