Volunteer
Make a Meaningful Difference in Someone's Day
Volunteers bring friendship, encouragement, laughter, and new experiences to The Caring Place. Whether you have a special talent to share or simply enjoy spending time with others, your presence can help create a meaningful and enjoyable day for our participants.
You do not need to be an expert in dementia care. Our staff will help you find a volunteer opportunity that is comfortable, appropriate, and rewarding.
Ways You Can Help
Every volunteer brings something special. Opportunities may vary according to current program needs, but volunteers often help in the following ways:
Activities & Games
Assist with Bingo, cognitive games, dominoes, crafts, puzzles, and other group activities.
Conversation & Companionship
Visit with participants, listen to stories, offer encouragement, or spend meaningful one-on-one time together.
Music and Entertainment
Sing, play an instrument, lead a sing-along, share a performance, or help participants enjoy music together.
Gardening & Outdoor Activities
Help participants plant, water, gather flowers, or enjoy activities in our secure garden and covered patio.
Exercise & Movement
Help with seated exercise, stretching, gentle movement, or other staff-led activities.
Meals & Hospitality
Assist with dining, snacks, special events, welcoming visitors, or other hospitality needs.
Your Time Can Create Connection & Joy
For someone living with memory loss, a friendly face, familiar song, shared laugh, or thoughtful conversation can make a lasting difference.
Volunteers also provide valuable support to our staff, helping us offer more personal attention and a wider variety of meaningful experiences. Every contribution matters—whether you volunteer regularly, help with a special event, or share a talent with us occasionally.
