Volunteers
Want to Volunteer?
Volunteers are one of Carrington’s most prized and valuable assets and with their selfless service, they enhance our quality of care.
One of the most rewarding activities in life is to volunteer.
Volunteering provides the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of the people we care for. There is a real satisfaction in knowing that your effort has improved the quality of life for someone else and our volunteers and residents find it a mutually rewarding experience.
We are always appreciative of our volunteers’ time, regardless of how much time is provided. Even an hour or two a week is a big help. Most of our residential services have active and invaluable programs supported by volunteers.
If you are a caring person who has a lot to give to others and are looking for a rewarding experience, why not consider volunteering at Carrington? With the help of volunteers, we can extend and enhance the many services and activities offered to our residents.
