Our volunteers are an important part of our care team. They help us to give quality care in a safe, respectful and compassionate home. Our volunteers help our recreationists to deliver programs that improve our residents’ quality of life.
Our volunteers help with social one-to-one visits. They also help with programs like beauty break, exercise classes, gardening, outdoor walks, afternoon pubs and special events. Our volunteers also work in our general store and café.
