ORGANIZATION: BROOKE GROVE FOUNDATION INC

  • 14 people are interested

Many residents of Brooke Grove do not have regular visitors who will talk with them, read to them, take walks with them. A friendly visitor is someone who may do any or all of those things... taking the place of a friend or family member, and helping the resident to feel that they are valued as an individual. Loneliness can be devastating for people who have lived busy and productive lives, and are used to social interaction. This is a very flexible volunteer role, in terms of scheduling.... we just suggest you avoid meal times.

Description

Brooke Grove is a continuing care retirement community. We also serve as a rehabilitation center for those 50 and over who need short-term onsite rehab care until they are able to return to their home. We use volunteers to assist with leading games, crafts, providing entertainment, visiting with residents one on one, assisting in the dining areas and transporting residents to onsite appointments. Brooke Grove is a pet-friendly environment and pet visitors are also welcome. We offer a monthly (except December) orientation the last Tuesday of every month, 6:30 - 8pm for those interested in volunteer opportunities. Students who seek to earn SSL credits/hours are welcome: scheduling is very flexible - we can work around school, sports and other commitments.
