As a Volunteer Social Visitor, you will provide companionship and meaningful social interaction for older people living with dementia in a residential care home. Spend time engaging with residents one-on-one or in small groups with conversation and/or gentle activities including simple crafts, listening to music together, reading the newspaper/magazines, walking in the garden and more.
Your impact
Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help older people feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the clients you are matched with.
HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of the clients cared for by HammondCare.
