Park considers volunteers a vital component of our Care Team.
They have responsibilities which reflect professional respect
and are offered growth opportunities. We provide a wide range
of volunteer opportunities for people of all ages and interests.
Volunteers add to our resident's and staff's quality of life by
helping to create a more natural community based home. Volunteers
have the opportunity to make new friends and enjoy new experiences,
skills, and challenges. A full orientation, training and on going
support is provided through our volunteer coordinator.
Most volunteers commit to an ongoing number of hours in a week
or month and often create their own positions based on their individual
talents. Some of the volunteer roles that are available are:
Special
Events:
Help
to porter residents to and from a special event
Serve refreshments
Outings:
We
like to plan special outings like shopping trips, bowling, or
just a bus ride in the country. The
more volunteers we have, the more residents have the opportunity
to enjoy these important activities to keep in touch with their
community.

Friendly
Visits :
Sometimes
all we need is someone there to listen! Many of our residents
would love a friend to visit them to chat.
You would get a lot out of it too - there are many interesting
stories to be told!
Palliative
Care Visiting:
Dining
Assistant :
Some of our residents require assistance during dining and many
enjoy the companionship and conversation shared during the meal
time, and what better than to share that time with a friend?
Dance/Music
Students:
Teachers
and students of dance and music groups - you've been working hard
on your performance - and now you need an audience - come in and
practice on us!
Share
you interest or talent:
Do
you have an interesting collection sitting in your basement collecting
dust? Why not bring it in to show us!
Do you know how to knit, sing, dance, do woodworking or crafts?
We would love to have you teach us or show us what
you can do!
