Volunteering to read stories to memory care residents is a simple yet impactful way to brighten their day and stimulate their minds. In just 15-30 minutes, you can read aloud from favorite books, short stories, or even poems that resonate with their past or spark imagination.

These sessions provide residents with mental engagement, comfort, and a calming atmosphere, while also fostering a sense of connection. Your voice becomes a soothing presence, helping them feel grounded and engaged.

Whether it’s a daily or weekly commitment, your contribution can bring warmth, smiles, and moments of clarity to their lives.
