Maria Callas, The Three Tenors, & Friend for a Person with Alzheimer's

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: ALZHEIMERS SUPPORT NETWORK INC

We are looking for a weekly volunteer to go see a man residing at Bayshore. A short blurb about him is below:

I was born in New York and initially began working for the NYPD before settling in as a New York firefighter. I have one daughter and two brothers. I love opera singers like Maria Callas and the Three Tenors. Throughout my life, I have enjoyed fixing up old cars and I would love to talk to you about it. I was in the military and it is something I am very proud of. Come visit me!

We are seeking compassionate volunteers to bring joy and connection to residents in our local memory care communities. Many residents deeply appreciate having someone to sit with, share stories, or simply enjoy the comfort of a friendly presence. Volunteers can play music, read a favorite book, or engage in meaningful conversation. Every small act of connection is a beautiful gift to the residents and the community. Your companionship has the power to brighten their day and create moments of genuine connection that will be cherished by the family.

We would like volunteers to come for 1 hour, 1-3 times a week.
