Volunteering to help aged care residents feel pampered
Robyn has been volunteering in aged care for 4 years at Kalyra Woodcroft, pampering and giving manicures to residents.
‘I wanted to offer my services to the elderly in any way I can to improve their quality of life. In my role I give manicures, apply nail polish, offer hand massages and support in group activities.
'Being in my age group, it was a challenge finding what fitted me in my retirement. Assisting residents to feel pampered and loved has made my volunteering experience a pleasure.
'Coming into the aged care home I am welcomed and appreciated by staff and residents. I would recommend anyone to give their time and knowledge to aged care because you never know where it could be utilised.’
Make a positive impact to older people in your community by finding aged care volunteering opportunities.
