The following volunteer
opportunities are currently available on our campus:
Many times a week residents need transportation
to physician appointments. Often their families are not available
to ride with them to the appointments. As a volunteer rider you can
help by riding to appointments with them and assisting them into the
physicians’ office. You would have the opportunity to converse with
the residents while together. Times may vary and training will be
provided.
The residents at the Care Center find enjoyment
from the bird aviary and fish aquarium. We need a volunteer that
would enjoy working with the birds and fish. If you are an animal
lover this opportunity is for you.
Needed: Leaders who like to have fun but aren’t
afraid to intervene if individuals become too aggressive during play
in order to keep everyone safe. Residents love both of these
activities and look forward to the fun.
Don’t all ladies feel better when their nails
are looking great? We need manicure assistants to help a couple of
times a month make that happen for our residents. No cutting of
nails is involved, just painting and beautiful results. It will
even make you feel better!!
What can be better than the smell of fresh
baked goodies wafting through the air? You can help make that
happen by assisting residents with baking projects. Share your own
ideas or get new ones from the participants, either way everyone
will enjoy the aromas and results.
Individuals that are self-motivated and
comfortable working with residents that have physical or cognitive
impairments are needed to provide one-on-one visits and sensory
stimulation. Your interaction with the resident will enhance the
quality of their life that day and provide you with a sense of
accomplishment. Training will be provided.
There is a need for volunteers to play cards or
games on the weekends with the residents. Also any individuals
musically inclined who would like to attend regularly on either
weekends or evenings to provide ½ hour to 45 minutes of music or
entertainment your expertise would be greatly welcomed. Your
flexibility is important to us and can be accommodated.
Unfortunately there is paper that always needs
shredding. This volunteer opportunity is to anyone over the age of
16 who likes to work independently. Set your own time.
Musical entertainment is needed for the tenants
at Assisted Living. If you have musical talent that you would like
to share with the group your reward will be avid and appreciative
listeners.
There is a need for tenants at the Assisted
Living to have a link to persons living in the community. As a
volunteer you can foster new relationships, bring news of community
events and happenings and provide friendship. Visits may be set to
your specification.
Once a month a Birthday Bash is a happening at
the Assisted Living. Volunteers are welcome to participate in the
party by assisting the staff with entertainment and refreshments.
The Administrative Secretary and Nursing
Departments are seeking a volunteer to assist with copying, making
admission packets and general office work. Do not need typing
or computer abilities. Hours are flexible. Training will
be provided. Work at your own pace.
Is a well loved activity each Tuesday at 9:30
am. Residents look forward to attending. Each week a
story is read and discussion follows. Residents are reminded
of the past and share their stories. An assistant is needed to
aid the director. |
