"Volunteering in Long-Term Care Communities"  

Welcome! You are about to embark on a great experience! Remember, an instructor is always here to answer questions or provide any help you may need with the following exercises.

Taking this course will give you the foundation for helping people living in nursing homes not feel so alone or disconnected. 

While there are a lot of people in the nursing home, e.g., nurses, aides, and others, they often do not have the time to stop and visit with someone. 

A volunteer, such as yourself, has the "luxury of time."
