Some of our most cherished residents are also our most vulnerable - those living with dementia.

They may not always remember names, but they never forget kindness. A gentle voice, a warm hand to hold, a shared laugh over an old song - these small moments mean the world.

We’re inviting people like you - people with empathy, patience, and a desire to make a real difference - to spend time with these residents. No special skills are needed. Just a heart willing to show up.

We’ll give you the tools and guidance to understand what dementia is, how it affects those we love, and how you can offer joy through simple activities:

  • Sharing stories

  • Listening to music together

  • Doing easy crafts or puzzles

  • Taking walks or just sitting side by side

For someone living with memory loss, your presence can be grounding. Calming. A reminder that they matter.

If this speaks to something in you, please reach out. Whether you have an hour a week or an hour a month, we’d be honored to welcome you and help you become part of something deeply meaningful.
