Tuesdays and Thursdays – 10:00am – 1:50pm. Program Companions (approx. 4 hours once a week) enjoy the company of participants and volunteers as a 1:1 program companion for an individual with dementia during the 4 hour respite program. Help participants engage in music, art exercise, and meals by providing visual and verbal cues as you participate in the same activities with the group. Activity Leaders (45min -1 hour once a month, quarter, or year +/-) lead art, music, exercise, conversational activities, service projects, or other projects that match your interests and provide structured socialization with a purpose for the group. |
