Are you looking for a way to volunteer?
Sadly, senior adults are often over looked when it comes to the volunteer pool.
Working in a skilled nursing facility I can assure you we are in great needs for volunteers.
Some ways you can help are:
- Performance {music, dance, etc}
- Present a class on a hobby or interest
- Help with special events
- Offer to help with regular activities {Bingo, various games, etc}
- Read to residents
- Help residents write a letter
- Bring a Pet {you will need to provide verification of shots}
- Beauty Regiment {Polish Nails, Hand Massage, Make up}
- Provide books and magazines
- Provide supplies for arts and crafts
- Plant and maintain a garden
- Donate supplies to be used as a giveaway {Mystery Auction, Bingo Store, Let’s Make a Deal, etc.}
Contact the activities office and inquire about ways you can help out.
An hour a week or a month is a huge help.
