Visitor – Making a Difference in Someone’s Day!

At Enliven, they believe a move into care is simply a change of address – not a change of lifestyle. Residents maintain choice, independence, and dignity. But for many, the highlight of their day is a friendly chat with someone from the outside world — that could be you!

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Spending quality time with residents – chatting, laughing, and sharing stories
  • Supporting the Lifestyle team with experiences and daily programs
  • Bringing the outside world in – sharing your life, interests, and experiences

Why It Matters:
Volunteering with our residents helps them:

  • Stay socially connected
  • Feel more positive and energized
  • Improve memory, sleep, and overall well-being
  • Enjoy companionship and meaningful moments

💬 “I never knew just how much a simple chat could brighten someone’s whole week!” – Volunteer

What You’ll Get in Return:

  • The joy of making a real difference
  • A sense of purpose and community connection
  • The amazing “helper’s high” – that warm feeling after doing something kind
  • Valuable experience and new friendships

Be the reason someone smiles today. Join Enliven Southland's caring community of volunteers and help bring warmth, laughter, and connection into the lives of our elderly residents.
