    Description

    Location: Seattle, WA 98133

    Commitment:

    • Companion Visit: Once a month
    • Phone Calls: Three times a month

    Are you someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, a good cup of tea, and sharing stories about life’s adventures? We’re looking for a kind-hearted volunteer to connect with a delightful 90-year-old woman who has dementia and is hard of hearing-but still loves to chat and engage with others.

    She’s a happy soul with a rich past: originally from England, she loved traveling, gardening, reading the classics, and spending time outdoors. Despite the challenges dementia brings, she remains cheerful and conversational and would thrive with a compassionate companion who speaks clearly and loudly and enjoys reminiscing.

    This opportunity begins with regular phone calls and can smoothly transition into monthly in-person visits. You’ll be offering companionship, joy, and a sense of connection to someone who truly values it.

    Ideal Volunteer:

    • Patient and empathetic
    • Speaks clearly and loudly
    • Enjoys storytelling and listening
    • Reliable and consistent

    Interested?

    Let’s make a difference-one conversation at a time.

    Reach out today to learn more or get involved!
