Respite Volunteers Urgently Needed on Long Island!

The Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands program helps thousands of people with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia annually to be cared for at home by a loved one rather than in a nursing home. By volunteering to be a respite volunteer just a few hours each week, you will help us to help families by giving caregivers a break from caregiving so they can rest, run an errand allowing caregivers the personal space and freedom that is essential for healthy living. Volunteers converse with their senior, reminisce, read to them, play cards/games, do puzzles, listen to music, etc. Whether you provide companionship, assist in chores, provide telephone or shopping assistance, or offer your own very special talent, you’ll be one of today’s true heroes.
