ASSIGNMENT
Volunteers are matched with a senior to provide companionship through weekly visits or phone calls. Assignments may include:
- Friendly conversation and active listening
- Social activities such as reading, crafting, puzzles, or games
- Light outings such as coffee or walks (if comfortable for both)
- Support during Life Story Recording sessions (optional)
- Encouragement, connection, and emotional support
Volunteers do not provide personal care, medical assistance, housekeeping, or transportation unless explicitly approved and comfortable for both parties.
The purpose of this assignment is to build a consistent, supportive relationship that enhances the senior’s emotional well-being, reduces feelings of loneliness, and strengthens their sense of connection to the community.
