Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Needed - SUNSHINE
MS PlusMS Plus is funded to provide a volunteer visiting program – the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS). Volunteer visitors share stories, go for a stroll, have a cuppa and chat, listen to music or play a board game. Our volunteers play a vital role in the life of a person living in an aged care home or their own home through ongoing friendship.
Would you like to visit an older person in an Aged Care Home and make a real difference in their life? Have you got some time and conversation to share to reduce loneliness?
We are seeking a mature female visitor for a 63 year old lady in an Aged Care Home in Sunshine. She would enjoy having 1:1 conversations about current affairs, movies and TV shows. Her interests include the Collingwood football team, painting and music (she is a big Rod Stewart and Elvis Presley fan).
You need to be warm, caring, reliable and be willing to commit to weekly connections/visits or at least fortnightly connections/visits for a minimum of 12 months/ongoing.
Virtual visits (phone calls, letters, emails, postcards ) are vital and help continue connections during periods of visiting restrictions.
MS Plus believes in a person to person approach and aspire to match you with someone local with shared interests and hobbies. We look forward to hearing from you.
