Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Bill is suffering from Alzheimer's disease but thanks to the loving support of his family he is still able to live at home. Yet caregiving is a 24 hour job, that's why Bills' family has enrolled him in our Adult Day Health Program. For five hours a day Bill participates in programs designed to enhance his abilities and quality of life. ADH provides nursing supervision, physical therapy, memory therapy and allows Bill to make new friends, while his family gets a reprieve from caregiving. You can make a difference in the life of someone like Bill by volunteering at the Sno-Valley Senior Center in Carnation.
