Caregivers provide essential support to patients, but they also need breaks. As a Caregiver Respite Volunteer with CorsoCare, you'll provide short-term support for families, giving caregivers time to rest, run errands, or take care of personal needs while ensuring patients remain safe and comfortable.
What You'll Do:- Sit with patients in the home or care setting while caregivers take a needed break
- Provide companionship, emotional support, and safety for patients
- Engage patients in light activities such as conversation, reading, or quiet reflection
- Offer peace of mind to families knowing their loved one is in capable, caring hands
- How On-Call Volunteering Works
- Volunteers are placed on an on-call schedule for their local area (within about 1 hour of their home base) based on their availability
Volunteers are required to provide support on a recurring basis for their scheduled on-call shifts.
For example, if you are scheduled for Wednesdays, you may be called to provide respite on any Wednesday when a caregiver request occurs
While unforeseen circumstances may occasionally prevent participation, regular commitment to your scheduled shifts is expected
