GoalElder Help Peel seeks volunteers who can visit home bound clients, who are lonely, isolated, physically and/or cognitively impaired. Volunteers would be interacting with clients with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and/or varying mental health and addiction concerns. Visits with clients ideally are conducted in person (although in some matches, a mix of virtual and in person visits may occur), in the comfort of the client's home, hospital or assisted living setting. Volunteers provide social support and companionship, and engage clients in meaningful and stimulating activities of interest. And, as Peel sees increasing age in its residents, the need for these services is both growing and critical. |
