    Description

    Companionship and Crafts with Elderly

    Huron Valley PACE provides an alternative to nursing home care for participants - allowing seniors to remain independent in their own homes and communities. Our adult day care centers for seniors appreciate volunteers who care and know how to talk with people who are in pain and needing a friend. We also need assistance with group activities like Bingo, crafts and word games. Come join the fun! Play your musical instrument or take initiative and talk one on one at the tables.
