Beat the Blah's and Join Our Senior Activity Team!

Save to Favorites

A volunteer and I just left an activity with seniors and she said to me, " I was kind of blah today, but after that I feel great!" I know exactly what she means. Singing, dancing, playing games and reminiscing with seniors brought spirit back into both our lives and to those with whom we work. It can do this for you too!

We are looking for volunteers to join our activity group who enjoy bringing smiles to seniors. We have a team that bops around to various long term care facilities in North Kansas City, Kearney, Excelsior Springs and Platte City, who organize and run an activity for residents.

From sing-a-longs, interactive memory games, remembering and sharing the past, the opportunity to get moving from their chair, to a chance to make something by hand, we ALWAYS have FUN!

We are looking for those who are leaders and can run these groups to those who can spot a senior who needs just a little extra attention and partner with them to help them engage. As a retired Girl Scout Leader, this type of volunteer role has been a perfect fit for me!

To join us, you will need to attend Crossroads Hospice Volunteer Training to learn more about how seniors and their family manage end of life issues. We are currently arranging individual training or in small groups as interested people come forward.

For More Information and to arrange training, call Kathy Fetters at Crossroads Hospice 816-389-5426.
