    Description

    Seeking volunteers who will visit once a week as an ongoing assignment. We visit the patients where they live and engage them in things they are capable of accomplishing: Reading, watching TV or Movies, playing games, working puzzles, and many more.

    Volunteering is building a relationship of trust and value for the patients a offering them someone to spend time with them, being able to meet socialization and companionship goals... and not pushing unrealistic expectations upon them. Meeting them where they are with no judgement.
