The Lodge greatly values our volunteers who provide care and support to our residents and clients, and allow them to live a more dignified person-centred life. We welcome volunteers who are keen to work with us to facilitate and even co-create our unique programmes. Corporate volunteers may also offer their strengths and skills in their respective areas of expertise.
Growth in Expertise and Empathy
As part of the Lodge’s volunteer management, volunteers will be screened and allocated to the various models of care based on our needs and the volunteers’ skills and talents. Volunteers will undergo training on dementia, person centred care, and on the proper handling techniques. They will be assigned supervisors and/or buddies during their stint.
There are many ways that our volunteers can help in caring for our seniors. Volunteer activities include but are not limited to:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long will I need to commit?
As the fundamental pillar of our care approach is person-centred care, we require a minimum commitment period of 3 months. It is also important to be devoted in carrying out assigned activities dependably and reliably.
How old do I need to be to volunteer?
The minimum age is 18 years of age.
Will I receive any help or guidance as a volunteer?
For new volunteers, the on-boarding process includes a general orientation to our Lodge and Training session on how to care for persons with dementia. Depending on the area of service, additional in-house training may be required to enhance your experience. On the ground, experienced care staff will be present to provide guidance.
