Volunteers can offer unique assistance in an aged care environment, strengthening the supply of many needed services to the frail aged. Volunteers contribute new values through their enthusiasm and the assuming of certain responsibilities.

Volunteers are always welcome at Garden Village and every courtesy is extended to them.

Garden Village has a structured volunteer program.

All volunteers are orientated and given support and education to attend specific activities.

Activities may include:

• Assisting to feed frail residents.
• Accompanying recreational activities officers and residents on outings.
• Assisting with activities programs e.g. housie, quiz games.
• Cooking and Craft demonstrations (all ingredients supplied).
• Shopping for residents and gardening to name a few.
