Give the gift of your time during this festive season
During this holiday season, the spirit of giving is all around us. The festive season offers a chance to spread some cheer not only during the Christmas season but perhaps during periods throughout the year as well. This would be an excellent time to consider being a volunteer within a Personal Care Home (PCH) within the health region. Volunteering in a PCH is meaningful in that it improves the lives of both residents and the volunteers. And it will give you a feeling of joy to know you are making a difference!
There are many different ways you can make an impact at the PCH. Some examples are assisting residents to play bingo, playing a card game with a resident, assisting recreational staff at programs such as bowling, parties and more, or register to be a friendly visitor. The possibilities on how one can make a positive impact is endless.
Volunteering at a PCH provides a unique opportunity to create meaningful connections with residents. Volunteering your time to sit down with a resident to talk and listen to their stories, laugh together during an activity or just to offer a comforting presence, can create strong, lasting bonds and friendships. Companionship from a volunteer enriches the lives of the residents in the facility with a positive impact. Volunteers in a PCH are a very important part of the Health Care Team.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in a Personal Care Home, contact Prairie Mountain Health at [email protected] or please stop in at a facility and pick up a volunteer registration form from recreation staff.
