Description

Are you looking to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life? We have an opportunity for a compassionate volunteer to visit an elderly participant in the Seattle, WA (Zip Code 98104) area.

About the Participant:

  • Alert & Oriented: The participant is alert and oriented but has been experiencing some life changes.
  • Isolated & Limited Social Supports: Due to these changes, the participant has become socially isolated and struggles with mental health challenges.
  • Love for Animals: The participant loves animals, especially dogs. She recently had to give up her pet due to personal care needs, which has further contributed to her feelings of isolation.
  • Desire for Companionship: She is seeking a friendly visitor to help bring some joy, companionship, and emotional support to her life.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • Must be 19 years of age or older.
  • A background check and medical screening will be conducted to ensure the safety of both the participant and the volunteer.
  • Volunteers will receive a name badge for identification and to make the experience comfortable for all involved.

Support Provided:

  • Comprehensive guidance is given at every step of the volunteer process.
  • Volunteers will receive additional support to help foster positive interactions and maintain the participant's well-being.

This is a wonderful chance to make a meaningful impact by simply providing companionship and a caring presence. If you're someone who enjoys helping others and has a heart for those in need of support, this could be a perfect opportunity for you.
