Compassionate Companion to Hospice Patients

Be a Compassionate Companion to Hospice Patients in Central Iowa

Flexible - we will work with your schedule!

Wesley Life Hospice is looking for compassionate and caring individuals to give the gift of time and presence to individuals in Central Iowa. Our patients need this more than ever. Volunteers support patients and families in a variety of ways. Finding common interests through conversation, listening to cherished memories, holding a hand, playing a game, or taking a stroll are all things you could do to brighten someone's day.

By providing this extra companionship at the end stage of life, volunteers can touch the hearts of our patients and even change their life - or your own!

Volunteer areas include:

• Companionship visits
• Veteran to Veteran visits
• Music
• Respite
• Pet Therapy
• Bereavement
• Office Work

We will work with your schedule!

We care for clients and families in Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Marion, Marshall, Polk, Story, and Warren counties.

Hear from one of our volunteers about what it means to volunteer with Wesley Life Hospice: "Being a volunteer for Wesley Life Hospice means the world to me. I have personally been through hospice with multiple family members, and being a volunteer for hospice now means I can make the experience pleasing for others. To know you are helping someone and comforting them makes me feel very happy to be a volunteer.

The best part of being a volunteer is being there for someone who might not have anyone, and letting them know they are not alone. The connections I have made through volunteering are some that I will cherish and be thankful for." - Lindsey
