Duties
In-Home Recreation volunteers are those who are willing to share their time to make a difference in the life of an individual who has been living with dementia. Volunteers visit our clients once per week at the client’s home. The volunteer will engage the client in a meaningful activity during their visit, such as: conversation, walking, reading, playing cards, or some other mutually agreed activity that is important to the client. In addition to providing companionship to our client, this program will also provide relief for the caregiver. Currently need volunteers for the following locations: Kinmount Cobourg Apsley Peterborough
Responsibilities:
- Each weekly visit will involve facilitated activities that will address social, physical, emotional, spiritual, cognitive, or vocational domains of wellness based on the needs of the persons living with dementia.
- Visit the client regularly, on a mutually agreeable time and day.
- Call or email a client ahead of time if for any reason a visit needs to be
postponed or rescheduled. - Inform assigned supervisor as to any changes in the client’s or volunteer’s
situation, which would affect the visit; this includes address changes, holidays,
illness, etc. - Report any observations, comments or concerns regarding the client or the
match to the assigned supervisor. - Volunteers are visitors and as such will limit their duties to socialization and
companionship activities only. - Report volunteer hours, either through our volunteer database or by direct email
to the Volunteer Engagement Coordinator
