7430 SE Division St,

Portland, OR 97206

Opportunity Overview

We are seeking a compassionate volunteer to provide one‑on‑one social connection for an older adult living in a memory care setting. These individuals benefit most from quiet, individualized visits rather than group activities.

Visit Type

• • In‑person
  • Friendly visitor / companionship
  • Priority need

Impact You’ll Make

The participant experiences social isolation and limited mobility due to chronic pain, which can contribute to feelings of loneliness and overwhelm. Consistent visits focused on conversation and shared interests can make a meaningful difference in their emotional well‑being.

Interests & Conversation Starters

• • Listening to music
  • Talking about sports (basketball, baseball, football)
  • Reminiscing using old family photos
  • Calm, thoughtful conversation in a low‑stimulus environment

Ideal Volunteer

• • Comfortable with one‑on‑one engagement
  • Patient, empathetic, and a good listener
  • Enjoys music, sports conversations, or life‑review style visits
  • Sensitive to mental health needs and prefer quieter interactions

Setting

Memory care community with staff onsite to support volunteer visits.
