Many of us have friends who have changed locations in our community and now live on the second or third floor in the Crossroads. Residents from Independent Living have many volunteer opportunities to maintain their relationships with friends and help others enjoy the variety of experiences available at GHBC.

 

Volunteering includes, but is not limited to:

• Sharing a special talent, such as playing the piano or other musical instrument
• Reading to a resident
• Assisting with art and service projects e.g. making sandwiches, filling food packets, art classes
• Accompanying residents to events in the Rotunda/Atrium and the Auditorium
• Sharing a meal with residents in their dining room
• Visiting with a resident
• Accompanying a Terrace resident to the pool or gym for exercise
• Accompanying a resident on a stroll through the Knoll garden
• Simple hand massage with lotion

Volunteers take a one-hour training class given by the volunteer coordinator. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator to find out when the next training class is scheduled.
