About the volunteering opportunity

For Mrs. M. (80), a resident of our nursing home "Am Plänterwald", we are looking for one to three volunteers who would like to spend time with her on a regular basis. Mrs. M., born in 1945, has severe physical limitations and is dependent on a wheelchair. She likes to talk, but speaks very slowly. Music is a great passion of hers.

Would you like to visit Mrs. M. regularly once or twice a week during the day, talk to her about music and make her days more varied?
Your commitment can make a big difference to her quality of life by offering her company, conversations, and joy in her everyday life, thereby making her transition to the nursing home easier.
