Volunteer Visitors Needed
Please help us help others!
With more people affected by Alzheimer’s disease each year the local chapter of the Alzheimer Society is in need of volunteers that are interested in visiting with some one affected by the disease. The local chapter currently has a lengthy waiting list of clients waiting for a volunteer to help improve their quality of life.
Volunteers provide a friendly relaxed visit while developing a friendship and allowing the caregiver a break from care giving.
Training and on going support is provided, and volunteers are matched with a client with similar interests. Weekly visits would be for 1-2 hours.
Volunteer Visitors truly make a difference in the lives of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease by helping to maintain physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning.
If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Visitor please contact the Alzheimer Society at 705-942-2195 or info@alzheimeralgoma.org
