About this Opportunity
Have FUN at our ‘club’ for adults with memory loss or other cognitive decline! Spend time playing brain games and doing puzzles, working on arts and crafts, cheering along with light physical activities, singing and dancing during music therapy, and reminiscing and sharing stories and jokes. Depending on your interests, you can also help with meal preparation, serving and/or clean-up, or helping plan other games and activities to help stimulate, engage and improve the quality of life of those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Volunteering with Respite Care Charleston doesn't require medical expertise, a background working with seniors or any special skills really - just patience, a warm smile and a willingness to try and bring joy to others!
Our programs are coordinated by full time staff with the support of program assistants, so you'll never have to worry about getting thrown in on your own. The ideal volunteer would be able / willing to work out a fairly consistent schedule with a minimum of one hour per visit, with at least one visit per month - simply so we're able to plan accordingly. Our Mt. Pleasant group meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00am to 1:45pm. To learn more or to sign up for a visit to see what we’re all about, call or email today!
