Come visit a resident of Naples Green Village. He is nonverbal, so the volunteer wil end up bringing most of the energy to the table.
This resident was an aritect and he loves theatre. He used to help with set design for theatre plays. He loves to smile, but he does not speak. He would love for you to read plays to him, or talk to him about theatre. You can bring in some architecture books to look at with him. Just come in for an hour every week and make him smile!
Please reach out if you want a weekly volunteer position that is flexible. We put you in contact with a family member so you can let them know of your volunteer service every weekif that is something you are comfortable with. The family will typically introduce you to their loved one who you will visit. They appreciate this service immeasurabley, as many family members feel a lot of guilt for leaving their loved ones with dementia in communities even though they have supported them for as long as they physically and emotionally could. You visiting would help them feel more at peace with their decision.
