One on One
Volunteer visits with Residents who tend to stay secluded and/or who don't often get visitors are invaluable! Not only will you make friends, but you will also be improving the lives of the people you meet. Typically, a volunteer spends this time feeding, reading, playing card games, or just speaking with the Resident.
| Activity | Shifts | Start | End | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 ANY / ALL time spent one-to-one with a Resident -talking, playing cards/game, helping, reading, etc. | 0 | |||
| Overtime Spent | 0 | |||
Pet Therapy
Pet Therapy involves Equine Therapy as well as Dog Therapy. We have limited Equine Therapy and numerous Dog Therapy volunteers. Both are extremely helpful for our Residents. To participate with your furry friend, you will need to bring in vaccination records and do a test run with the Recreation Department to make sure the dog is appropriate to have around our Residents.
