Pet Therapy Volunteer, Braeside Hospital
Bring your pet along to Braeside Hospital to visit patients in care, they will enjoy patting and chatting with you about your treasured companion. See what a difference your furry friend can make!
HammondCare is an independent Christian charity, specialising in dementia, palliative care, rehabilitation and older persons' mental health. We are passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need and we have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of our patients.
As you're bringing your pet into a care environment with frail and elderly residents or patients, we ask that your pet is:
- Calm and gentle in nature
- Up-to-date with vaccinations and treatment of worms and fleas
- Nails should be short and blunt. Freshly cut nails can be sharp if not filed down.
- Dogs should be kept on a lead always.
Your impact
Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
