EVS - creative activities with elderly people
Main focus of volunteer tasks will be the social and psycho-social care of the seniors at House Waldenfels. This contains to accompany residents to concerts and theatre-visits out-of-home, as well as to go shopping, to run errands, to go for a stroll and trips.
Tasks
Within the House the volunteers shall talk to the seniors, play games with them and if it fits to the abilities of the volunteers they can offer creative activities to the seniors or sing, dance (dance while sitting) or do sports within the realms of possibility of the residents. From Monday till Friday daily occupations are taking place for the seniors, they are offered through an ergo-therapist. The volunteers have the opportunity to take part in these activities and to support particular residents. Beside sports, games, music and crafts these offers also contain cooking and baking. The management of the old-age-home is very open-minded for any offers, the volunteers bring along from their own experiences. Another task is to assist in the preparation of festivals. They can consider the content as well as the decoration of a room. Beside the seasonable fests like Harvest Festival, St. Nicholaus Day, Christmas, Carnival, Easter - House Waldenfels gives action-weeks, for example bavarian, french, italian weeks; Beside the typical food of the particular country also the group-rooms are decorated correspondingly at what the volunteers can take over a central role. Then there is a resident-newspaper (Waldenfels Echo) at House Waldenfels. The volunteers also have the opportunity to participate operatively. In case the volunteers want to work artistically, there is a possibility of long-term interior design, for example to design and implement wall-images or design the outdoor area. Just as nice would be if volunteers with musical abilities arrange small concerts at the old-age home. Still the old-age home is trying to create a Web Site. This is also a possibility for the volunteers to involve themselves.Criteria
