Volunteer opportunities at the Edgewood Centre
At the Edgewood Centre, opportunities abound for people from all walks of life interested in sharing their time and talents with the residents of our nursing home.
We believe giving should feel really good. The secret of volunteering at Edgewood is simple. Whatever you give comes back to you in ways you cannot even imagine. It’s part of the magic of our place – you’ll feel instantly at home here.
What volunteering at Edgewood looks like
For volunteers at Edgewood, activities go beyond bingo and sing-a-longs. Whether you have a little time or a lot of it, there are dozens of ways to bring joy to the lives of residents at our senior care facility.
- Use our laptop computers to help a resident check and respond to email or search the web.
- Join the Vitamin D Club and stroll with residents who enjoy the outdoors. Our neighborhood setting is perfect for a walk to the pond!
- Get creative and assist residents with artwork, crafts and other endeavors.
- Share your musical talents in our rehearsal space. Play your violin or practice for your recital on our baby grand piano.
- Serve up a smile at wine and cheese parties, dessert buffets and our family celebrations.
- Bring Fido for a visit by signing up to be part of our pet therapy program. If you have a certified pet-therapy animal, we have some residents who would love to meet them.
- Treat a resident to a spa experience. We provide the supplies, and you get to be the nail artist.
- Help residents journal their history while writing about their life story.
- Form a nursing home knitting circle by leading residents who want to practice their needlework skills.
- Join our buddy program and make a new friend. Come in to talk sports, listen to music together or pursue an activity in a shared interest.
