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

A female volunteer fluent in Italian is requested for this role. A patient, mature and caring volunteer is requested. A volunteer with experience communicating with someone living with dementia is desirable.

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 minimum 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.
