ALZ Companions summer interns provide in-home breaks to caregivers in the form of social visits with their loved one who has Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. Interns do not help with any physical or personal care. Interns spend time with individuals who have dementia to provide:
Companionship - encouraging reminiscing about the past or enjoying a movie together
Socialization - engaging in activities such as games, listening to music, or gardening
Supervision - ensuring their safety while their caregiver is absent
Interns will also attend education classes, social activities, and work on projects/research as part of their internship activities.
Must have excellent people skills, such as being caring and patient. Experience working with persons with dementia a plus, but not required. Training will be provided. Time requirement: approximately 4-6 hours per week.
We have volunteer placements all throughout San Diego County.
