I volunteered at a nursing home for several years & never once even caught the sniffles. Never believe anything you hear - and only half of what you see! If you plan to volunteer, the residents will be so happy to see a friendly face & someone to talk with. They love to have someone help them write cards & letters to friends & family. The activities director can always use extra hands like helping them to play bingo or checkers, etc. Various organizations schedule times to visit - like a group or club will donate items to be sold for 5 cents or 10 cents each - like a bazaar or flea market - so the residents can purchase items to give for birthdays or Christmas gifts. They can't get out to go shopping - but this way they still get to 'shop' & have something to give for a gift. Volunteers help out with manning the tables with items for sale & also wheel residents from their rooms to the area where the bazaar is being held & help them with selecting & paying for items. You will never regret having been a volunteer.Health Question & Answer
