Memory Support Garden Volunteer

Southern Cross Care SA, NT & VIC (Inc).
Logo for Southern Cross Care SA, NT & VIC (Inc).

West Beach offers high quality residential care services, and embraces a healthy ageing philosophy, with resident's quality of life measured using a World Health Organization assessment tool.

Research has shown that access to a garden can improve attention, relaxation and self-esteem. Positive memories of one's past can be stimulated by being exposed to the sights and smells of nature such as plants, flowers, birds, water and insects. Spending time wandering through a dementia-friendly garden, tending to plants or simply admiring a flower requires effortless attention, providing relief from physically and emotionally draining experiences, and an opportunity to recharge.

This volunteer position would best suit those with a passion for active ageing, clear communication skills, patience and empathy.

If you are looking for a rewarding voluntary opportunity to help people live a better life, we would love to hear from you.
