Volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of life at our Facility, bringing the outside world in for our residents. Some volunteers are here weekly, others come occasionally and many groups come for a one-time visit. All are welcome and greatly appreciated by residents.
Sharing part of yourself is the best gift you can give a resident, and can be personally satisfying for you. Our residents are each very special and enjoy meaningful relationships and opportunities to participate in interesting activities.
Volunteer opportunities include:
- Visiting one-on-one with a resident
- Playing an instrument or singing
- Assisting in the beauty shop
- Gardening
- Playing games or cards
|
- Reading to a resident or group
- Assisting with crafts & activities
- Assisting with outings
- Hosting a party
- Leading religious services
