Working with Alzehimers patients in an adult day program. I help make meals, exercise, memory

I love working with seniors and

volunteering Alzheimer's Society

I get to work with seniors and dementia patients at an adult day program. We work on memory games and activities, exercise, and making meals.

working with those who's memories will soon be forgotten is a so fulfilling. Being a caregiver for someone who had dementia it is an honor to work with patients and to give the caregivers a much needed break.

work with Seniors and Alzehimers patients

After being a caregiver for 30 years and understanding the need forcaregivers to have time to take care of themselves. I realized when my mom passed in December how lost I felt. My love for working in a long term care home and talking to the residents, getting them involved in activities or just listening to what they have to say and giving comfort when they are having a bad day or not feeling well.

While working as volunteer at the Alzehimers society, it has made me realize that I want to help people that need care and companionship.
