Enjoy a fulfilling volunteer experience by providing companionship and socialization for patients in assisted living or short-term respite for home caregivers. Reminiscing, watching TV, playing music or just being present with a patient provides meaningful experiences for both the volunteer & patient. Caregivers need breaks for appointments, running errands or just to have lunch with a friend. Veteran-to-veteran and other specialty volunteers are welcome - music or art therapy, crafts, life review recording, pet therapy, spiritual support, beautician and barber services.

Whether you're lending a hand or holding one, you will brighten the life of a patient or their family. If you're ready to share your time and a bit of your heart, let's discuss opportunities available throughout Fairburn, Palmetto and Union City.

Days and times are flexible and comprehensive training is provided.
