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

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.
