Beechwood’s gift shop is open several times a week and requires a friendly face to greet residents and their guests when looking for small toiletries or that little something special. For those who enjoy the outdoors, there is always gardening, landscaping or planting that can be done in the spring and summer months. In conjunction with Beechwood’s resident-centered care initiative, Welcome Home, volunteers can also become a friend of the household. “A friend of the household is someone who would come in and visit with the residents in a particular household, participate in activities with them, and really become a part of the family,” said Cheryl Wasson, director of marketing and fundraising. “Doing things with residents such as cooking, baking or even laundry can be very meaningful to the residents.” Spiritual volunteers are also encouraged and anyone interested in those positions should contact Rev. Jim Weisz, Beechwood’s pastoral care director, at 504-1388. Volunteers spend anywhere from two hours a month, to a visit once a week at Becchwood’s various homes. Please contact Rose Kuzmierczyk at 504-1488 or email rkuzmierczyk@beechwoodcare.org for more information. back to top back to table of contents Current Issue | About Forever Young | Where to Find | Advertise | Our Advertisers | Community Calendar | Contest | Clubs | Contact Us | Archives | Home |
