The Volunteer Need
Volunteers are a vital part of our team and play an important role in the well-being of our residents. They assist with activities and field trips, distributing mail, making one-on-one visits, escorting wheelchair-bound residents to activities, assisting residents at mealtimes, reading to residents, and much more!
Visiting Volunteers
Looking for volunteers who are available to sit and visit with our residents, specifically those who cannot/will not leave their room/bed. These volunteers must complete the volunteer orientation process before hand as they will be one-on-one with our residents. We would like to avoid visiting during meal times when possible.
Expectations would be simply to sit with the resident and visit (talk, read a book, play cards, puzzles, etc). We know that human contact is something each of our residents will benefit from, some more than others.
Security will be available to help you find parking. Enter through the main entrance and sign in on the Volunteer binder. I will meet everyone in the lobby. We will plan to have a brief orientation in our chapel once everyone arrives. Following orientation, the group will support our activity staff by escorting our residents outside.
