Senior Community Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Serving as a volunteer offers important opportunities for social interaction for both you and the people you work with in any senior living community. While volunteer opportunities may vary between communities, building relationships with the residents of the community can be most worthwhile. Giving a manicure, providing an escort for an outdoor walk, leading a discussion, or simply having a conversation, can not only put a smile on a resident’s face, but also provide much needed support and encouragement.

Volunteering in a senior living community also offers the chance to make new friends! Forming friendships with the residents of the community can be a most rewarding experience. While initially you may feel as if you have very little in common, you may be quite surprised at how much you truly do share, whether it is a love of music, a favorite sports team, a hobby, a travel experience, your family background or even something as simple as a book you’ve both read.
