Volunteering
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." ~ Winston Churchill
Volunteers are important contributors to the care and socialization of the residents and play an intricate role in maintaining a comfortable environment. Volunteers should be caring individuals with an interest in making a difference in someone's life.
