Volunteer PositionsImmediate Volunteer Needs

Immediate Volunteer Needs at Salem Home:  Visiting, Portering, Assisting with Meals, and Activity Assistant.  Descriptions of these opportunities are below

One on One Visiting: Many residents could benefit from a friendly visit throughout their day to lift their spirits, make special memories and to connect with the community around them. You choose the times that are best suited for your life

Portering: We are looking for help taking the residents to and from the many programs offered within Salem Home.

• Every day at meal times to help residents to and from the table.
• Monday Morning Chapel Program: 9:00am – 11:00am.
• Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Evening Programs: 6:00pm – 7:30pm

Assisting with resident meals: No one likes to be rushed when enjoying a meal.  Many residents need help with their meals due to various reasons. Having someone spends one on one time with a resident to assist with the meal it has many benefits.  It benefits the health of the resident because they are able to eat without feeling rushed.  It also establishes a more relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere for everyone in the dining room.

We need volunteers to assist at meal times, especially Breakfast (8:15am – 9:45am) and Supper (4:30pm – 6:15pm).  You can decide the on the meal and the day of the week that you can make it.  Training will be provided

Activity Helpers: We currently have a great need for volunteers to spend time with a few residents to encourage and set up activities that will add satisfaction and purpose to those residents lives (folding laundry, sorting or matching objects, setting tables, reading group, math problems worksheets, sanding or painting projects etc.)
