Volunteer

Summary:

Pioneer Trace strives to keep the community close and involved. Throughout the year we have several events and activities along with our daily activities that volunteers come in and assist with. As activates can vary from day to day our residents enjoy bingo, nail painting, board games, being read to and just having someone to talk to.

We attend to patients with a wide range of conditions needing medical and nursing care. As a naturally busy environment, it is essential that volunteers can take a proactive approach to the role, whilst always being guided by the Nurse in Charge and activities personnel to provide the best wishes of the individual patient. Volunteers will work with an activity team to ensure the best experience for both resident and yourself.

Listed below are some of the ways a volunteer can help at Pioneer Trace:

• As a bingo volunteer, you can call out numbers and help players find called numbers on their cards.
• You can give manicures — glossy pink nails are a simple way to make someone feel young and pretty. You don’t have to be a professional manicurist or trim nails. All you need to do is apply nail polish and a bit of hand lotion.
• You can play board games, Uno along with several others are very popular.
• Special events – Monthly birthday parties, Valentines party, Easter party, the petting zoo, live bands and more.
• You can assist with crafts and cooking/decorating
• Bring a special talent, our residents love to hear music played, singing and dancing.

Volunteers are special people and we are glad to have you.
