The weekends are slow and relaxed here at the Salt Lake Veterans Nursing Home.
We are looking for a few good-quality, independent volunteers who can spare an hour or two every Sunday to spend with our veterans.
You will be playing games like cards, checkers, Jenga, Guess Who, etc. with our veterans who are looking for something fun to do and would enjoy a little company.
This is a weekly commitment for 4 months at a time from 2-3pm every Sunday

Volunteers assist the Recreation Department in serving the 81 elderly veterans that live at the Salt Lake Veterans Nursing Home. Volunteers are a vital part of our recreation program. Without them, we would not be able to have the high caliber activities that we currently have. Activities require a lot of one-on-one attention that 1 staff member can not adequately provide. Volunteers decrease the ratio gap and ensure that not only are more residents getting to come to and on activities, but they are also able to fully engage in the activities because they have a volunteer who can assist them.
Having more assistance from volunteers means that the activities can be more involved and the residents will get more out of it. Volunteers are also vital in creating friendships and connections with our residents
