Volunteering at Presbyterian Homes

At Presbyterian Homes, we have a dedicated group of volunteers who selflessly give their time to help others. Their efforts have made a major difference in the quality of life for the residents who make Presbyterian Homes their home.

Presbyterian Homes offers many volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups. A program can be developed to meet your needs, as well as the needs of our residents.

End of Life Companionship

A volunteer opportunity involving sitting with residents who are near the end of their life if no family is available. Most are non-responsive but could be comforted by bringing some gentle music and portable unit for them to listen to while you are with them. You could read poems, short stories, or Biblical material. We believe that someone at the end of their life can always hear what we are saying to them even if they don’t respond. Touching a hand, wiping a forehead or combing someone’s hair lets them know you are there and they are not alone. This ministry takes a special person.
