Volunteer: Friendly Visitor for the Guardianship Program

Do you enjoy spending time with older adults? Can you commit to 2 hours per month? Then this might be your calling.

The public guardianship program provides conservatorship to Tennesseans who are unable to manage their own affairs and who have nobody willing and able to act on their behalf.

Volunteers can make a real difference in the lives of seniors, providing both concrete assistance and vital contact, overcoming the isolation and depression often present in older adults.

It is possible to volunteer together with a partner for this opportunity. We strive to match volunteers to clients close to their geographic location.

 Qualifications:

Complete the required initial training and sign all required documents. Successfully pass a background screening process. Must have your own transportation to make client visits. Must be able to keep client information confidential.  Must be able to complete a short report after each visit to keep conservator in the loop. Required update training: 4 hours annually. Skills necessary to be successful in this role: Have a heart for working with the Elderly, good listening skills, be respectful to the client’s mood and needs, ability to assess an individual’s circumstances based on established criteria.

Volunteer: Veterans to Veterans End of Life Companionship

Are you a compassionate and caring person? 
We are looking for you!  Caris provides hospice care throughout TN.  The end of life can be a difficult and lonely time for patients and/or their loved ones.  Volunteers can provide additional support to them at this very difficult time.  We have also learned that veterans have unique needs at the end of life that only another veteran will understand. 

Volunteers provide companionship to patients who are located in nursing facilities, assisted living, and homes.  It may be reading, listening to music or playing bingo with a patient.  Often patients in centers do not have many visitors and enjoy having additional company.  For home patients, volunteers provide respite for caregivers so they can go shopping, pick up medicines, or just have a meal with a friend. 

Volunteers do not do any hands-on care (no moving patient from a bed to a chair, taking to the bathroom, etc.).  Caris pays for patient volunteers to have a two-step TB test, drug test, and background checks.  Training starts with a two hour orientation and finishes with computer training that can be completed either at home, our office, or your local library.

Volunteer: SCHAS Out Shopping (S.O.S.) Order Taker

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, SCHAS has created the S.O.S Program to provide grocery delivery services to those who have compromised immune systems or are age 60 or older. 

Volunteers are needed to take phone orders for seniors in this program.

To be an order taker, reliable phone and access to the Internet are required as all orders are placed online on our website. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. Volunteers simply email us to let us know when they are available to take orders and again once finished for the day. We have a phone list at our reception desk to transfer calls. SOS-ers can place orders Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am-4pm by going online to our website or calling our main administrative line at 865-523-2920. Phone orders are transferred from the main office to those available to take Orders.  Order takers email our reception team when they are “logged” in to take orders and then when they “log” out for the day.  The orders are transferred to the Order taker so they will see SCHAS appear on their phone, so they know it’s an order call. The order taker will then go onto our website to take the order and then submit.
