Share your language (English) and companionship during fortnightly friendly visits to an isolated elderly lady living in an aged care facility in Westmeadows.

A volunteer fluent in English is requested for this role. The resident would like a visitor for companionship and to have someone to talk to. She has poor eyesight and would like someone who could help her with crosswords, discuss the newspaper or articles in a magazine (loves the Royal family).

Visits may be spent talking or sharing in a simple leisure activity together. Your regular visits can make a real and positive difference in the life of this resident - reducing social isolation and improving well-being.

We ask volunteers to commit to fortnightly visits for at least 12 months, however this is an ongoing role & we hope to support your friendship for as long as possible.

Volunteers receive training, orientation, ongoing support, travel reimbursement and quarterly invitations to meetings together with other visiting volunteers.

To find out more please phone our Coordinator on 9448 8009 or 'express interest' below and we will phone you.
