St. Therese Villa Opportunities
The Pet Therapy Program is designed to provide residents with the opportunity to engage in an activity that provides social as well as sensory stimulation. Volunteers will work closely with the resident to provide them the freedom to participate in a non-threatening familiar activity that allows for expressions such as caring and nurturing.
In an atmosphere of relaxation and pampering, residents will have the opportunity to socialize with nail care providers on a one to one basis, while having their fingernails manicured and polished. This will improve self-esteem, provide sensory stimulation, socialization, increased motivation and enjoyment.
Tuck Shop is our in-facility “store” where snacks, candy, personal care items, crafts etc., are sold every Friday.
Friendly Visitor Volunteers will visit with residents engaging them in conversation and activities to make their day a little more enjoyable. Additional activities may include reading, playing card or board games.
Program Assistants will provide residents with the opportunity to engage in programs that provide social interaction, mental stimulation, physical activity and inclusion in the community. Volunteers will work closely with residents to provide them with the freedom to participate in a non-threatening activity that contributes to overall quality of life and well-being.
