As a Community Visitor you will visit with our lady who is of Greek cultural background at the Aged Care home in Carina. Regular fortnightly visits provide the resident with valuable friendship. You do not need to speak Greek for this role, just have an understanding and care for older people. Our lady likes to have company and could really benefit from having a Community Visitor. Visits may include listening to music, perhaps watching a movie together or perhaps some gentle hand care.

Through this regular one-to-one visiting great friendships can be formed. These visits from a Community Visitor can help to improve the quality of life of the older person and help them to feel less socially isolated.

Volunteering as a Community Visitor can be a very rewarding experience. By becoming a friend to an older person, you can make a positive difference to their lives as well as your own.
