would like to provide our patients with an upbeat person who can do various things with patients. Such as reading, playing games, making puzzles, going for a stroll at the facility, having coffee, or joining a group activity. Creativity is endless, and sometimes the patient just wants to talk and chat.

We are looking for someone that will visit 1-4 times a month, if you make that great connection, we can up those visits. We need a visit to last at least one hour once a week, or more. We can sign off your hours for school or your employment as well. The paperwork after hiring is minimal and we can do it all electronically, with specific training once you are ready.

I will send an application, meet you close to your home for a coffee or soda, and we can talk about what your goals are for your volunteer experience.

There are no COVID restrictions, but sanitary habits are a must, as well as I will train you about PPE equipment that you will be given and how to use it. I honestly have volunteered for 13 years and have only used it once and it was provided by a facility. The goal is to be safe for you and your family as well.
