Volunteer Opportunities

Our goal is for volunteering at Christian Care to be fun and fulfilling for the volunteer and energizing for the residents. Life in a nursing home, even the best of nursing homes, can be very difficult. Some nursing home residents have no close relatives. Volunteers have the opportunity to provide emotional and spiritual encouragement by visiting and fellowshipping with our residents as often as they would like.

We know as well as anyone how precious time is—that is why we hold most of our volunteering to 1 hour time slots with only once a month visits.

There are many scheduled volunteer opportunities for volunteers to participate in at Christian Care. Some of the organized volunteer activities are:

  • One-on-one visits with residents
  • Reading to or writing for the residents
  • Assisting with crafts/scheduled games
  • Providing special music/entertainment
  • Gardening club
  • Serving in the gift shop
  • Providing devotions
  • Playing the piano
  • Passing out snacks and providing conversation to our residents
  • Toddler time/show & tell
  • Golf cart rides
  • Wheelchair rides
  • Transportation and doctor visit assistance
  • Van ride helpers
  • Accompanying our residents to church & other social events
  • Provides manicures to our female residents
  • Dine out & shopping escorts
  • Youth group singers/visits

Our desire is that all regular volunteers can attend our annual Volunteer In-Service and our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet. You and your giving is very appreciated!
