Volunteer Opportunity – Support Mealtimes for People Living with Dementia HammondCare Wahroonga – Aged Care Home

Do you have a caring nature and a bit of time to spare? We're looking for compassionate volunteers to support residents living with dementia during mealtimes at our aged care home in Wahroonga.

By assisting at 12pm (lunch) or 5pm (dinner), you'll help create a calm, supportive, and enjoyable dining experience. This may include helping residents to the dining room, offering encouragement during meals, and providing a warm, friendly presence.

Your patience, empathy, and kindness can make a real difference in someone's day.

What's involved:

Volunteering during mealtimes (12pm or 5pm daily – choose what suits you)

Supporting residents with gentle encouragement and conversation

Being a calm and reassuring presence

Whether you can give your time once a week or more often, your support will be truly valued.

Join our team and bring dignity, comfort, and connection to mealtimes for people living with dementia.

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.

HammondCare

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of people cared for by HammondCare.
