Be a Special Friend: Brighten a Senior's Day!
Are you passionate about making a difference in someone's life?
Lyngblomsten is searching for caring individuals to join our Special Friend program!
As a Special Friend, you'll be matched with a wonderful senior resident (average age is 87!) for weekly visits.
This is a chance to bring joy and companionship through:
- Friendly conversation: Share stories, laugh together, and build a special bond.
- Engaging activities: Play games, enjoy walks (weather permitting), or explore creative hobbies together.
- Social outings: Escort your friend to our on-site cafe for a change of scenery and delicious treats.
- Helping hands: Assist with light tasks like organizing their room, bringing them books, or writing letters.
What you'll gain:
- The rewarding experience of making a real difference in someone's life.
- The opportunity to build a meaningful friendship with a senior.
- Flexible hours - you'll typically spend 1 hour per week with your friend.
Who we're looking for:
- Caring and compassionate individuals with a positive attitude.
- Reliable volunteers who can commit to regular visits.
- A patient and understanding heart that enjoys connecting with others.
If you're looking for a way to share your kindness and brighten a senior's day, we want to hear from you!
