Brookdale Marlton Crossing is currently in search of volunteers with a passion to enrich lives and have fun while doing so. This community's residents have rich histories and stories that are worthy of being heard, especially through one-on-one interactions.
Some examples of one-on-one volunteer work includes: reading to a resident who is sight or memory-impaired, helping a resident with arthritis write a letter, or simply visiting with a resident who is not as comfortable in a larger group activity setting. These interactions would take place at a common area in the community. For this type of volunteer work, we would require a background check and health screening (and parental permission for all those under 18 years old).
Many of our residents were avid participants of the performing or visual arts; residents would love to see more group performances at the community. We also encourage groups to assist with projects like our spring/summer garden, painting classes, discussion groups, or assisting with board games. Visits or performances by community groups help create a robust intergenerational experience for residents. These groups or persons would be considered visitors are exempt from background checks and health screening requirements.
Brookdale Marlton Crossing will provide an orientation and all tools needed for successful volunteer interactions with residents.

Mission Statement
Enriching the lives of those we serve with compassion, respect, integrity, and excellence.
Description
Every day is an opportunity for Brookdale to deeply connect with people in a profound and personal way. For our residents, we provide comfortable lifestyles and caring environments, with opportunities to improve wellness, fulfill lifelong wishes, and stay connected with friends and loved ones. And for those seeking help and information about senior living, we offer answers to their questions and solutions for meeting the unique and individual needs of each resident and their family.
It all starts with listening to and understanding the unmet needs of those we are talking with; their hopes and uncertainties for themselves or for loved ones. Then we partner with them to determine a solution designed to help enrich their lives. We believe that growing older doesn’t mean the options for enjoying life have to shrink. Our philosophy is that we’re all aging, but that should never keep us from living.
Brookdale Marlton Crossing is an assisted living in Cherry Hill, NJ doing just that. The 100+ residents that live here require some kind of assistance with activities of daily living or need the services from our Clare Bridge (Memory Care) neighborhood. Because of these limitations, we would like to bring more of the community to them- and that's where the vital role of the volunteer comes in to play.
