Companion Volunteers needed - Fort Wayne, area

About

Do you have a heart for Seniors and enjoy bringing joy to others?

Companion Volunteers are needed for our patients at Paradigm Health. It's as simple as listening to their stories, reading to them, walking beside them, and spending a little quality time. Most of our patients enjoy music and would love to listen and reminisce to some old tunes. Are you a good listener? Can you read aloud short stories or the newspaper? Would you enjoy just holding someone's hand and being a comfort to them? Our volunteers do this and so much more.

Paradigm has received USA Today's Top Workplaces for several years and in 2025 received the overall Top Workplace Leadership Award, illustrating our caring culture that highly values our staff and volunteers. We would love to tell you more about our free training and customizable opportunity based on your interests and needs.

reach out to us today to learn how you make all the difference to someone at this special time in life.

About the Organization

Paradigm Health offers a unique combination of premier hospice and palliative care to Central Indiana. By providing above and beyond quality home-based care, Paradigm Health has assembled a leadership team and valued, competent and well-educated staff working within an organized and responsive management model to place us on the path to becoming Central Indiana's both provider and employer of choice.

Consumers of our services will be those individuals and families in need of home health, hospice and/or palliative care. These patients are usually referred by other health care professionals such as physicians, attorneys, insurance companies and health care facilities.

In addition to hands-on leadership and a committed and compassionate caregiving staff, Paradigm Health hospice volunteers are an essential part of our patient-care team. They are specially trained individuals, who provide assistance to patients, their families and the hospice team. They do not provide direct patient care, give medications or make medical decisions. As a valued resource, they bring a friendly smile, warm conversation, a hand to hold, or offer a welcome respite for a family.
