Found 4 Seniors & Aged Care volunteering opportunities in Adelaide City

Do you have a dog or pet that is suitable to come with you to our Aged Care home and share some social interaction with our residents? Our residents living at our Wayville Aged Care Home really miss the family pets they had in their family homes. Animals bring great joy to others hearts and the social chit chat and a pat bring smiles and fill hearts. All volunteers must have up to date Influenza vaccinations, the Covid-19 vaccinations and a Police clearance to work in Aged Care.

ECH is looking for some 2 legged (human) volunteers to assist in their Day Programs together with their good natured and well trained pets to visit clients. ECH Day Programs are designed to cater for people who may be experiencing dementia or memory loss to engage in a range of social activities. Dogs are popular but other pets are welcome too if they are healthy, confident with strangers, never timid and well mannered.

Having good social connections is essential for all aspects of health, especially as we age. The Red Cross Aged & Community Care programs support older and vulnerable Australians by improving their social connection and wellbeing through a variety of different services.

Do you have a passion for helping others & the motivation to support older people living in their own home to maintain their independence? Well, Anglicare needs you. If you are dedicated to making a positive impact within their Community Aged Care portfolio, then, they would love to hear from you!
