Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay is embarking on a journey of engaging older adults with touchscreen tablets.
While residents and staff members at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay work together to build a strong network of care and support, we rely on our dedicated volunteers to help maintain the positive and supportive atmosphere we have created. People from all paths of life can apply to be a Birdsong volunteer - from students to senior citizens.
The Birdsong Volunteer will teach older adults how to navigate through an engagement tablet using a software meant for older adults. Training will also be provided to all volunteers and they will be supervised. The volunteer will be closely working with the older adult, as well as their medical team, therapeutic recreation team, and family members. We understand that volunteers have busy schedules so the dates and times for the program are very flexible, including weekdays and weekends. Along with aiding your community, these hours can also count towards any community service needed.
Formal volunteer applications can be filled out using this link: https://goo.gl/32W4ma

Mission Statement
Our Mission: Creating community to foster joy and well-being.
Description
Vast Bay, Boundless Beauty, Limitless Possibilities. A fantastic senior residence is one thing. A Chesapeake Bay lifestyle is something else.
Since our founding in 1982 on the Chesapeake Bay, we have evolved into one of the most value-added Life Plan Communities in the region. A non-profit Life Care community sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia and The Presbytery of Eastern Virginia of the Presbyterian Church, we provide a vibrant lifestyle for seniors 62 years of age and older who worked hard their entire lives and deserve not just beautiful homes, but peaceful, lively and pleasant experiences. We also view our purpose to be of service to the families of our residents, as well as the broader community.
