Volunteer
The focus of Elder Care Volunteers is on companionship: spending time with residents to form meaningful relationships.
Volunteers offer a listening ear, company while doing activities and a warm, friendly face each time they visit. We look for volunteers who have initiative, are willing to make a commitment, and (most importantly) have kind hearts.
We believe Elder Care Volunteers are a gift. So we don't require you to have any volunteer experience or knowledge about healthcare.
If you are willing to take some time to build a relationship with a resident or two, please contact us! We will send you a sign-up form and arrange to meet with you or give you a call so you can ask us any questions you may have.
