At St. Joseph's Hospital, volunteers assist clients and staff in various capacities, in all services within the Rehabilitation and Complex Chronic Care programs. Most volunteer roles include direct involvement with the clients, either one-on-one or in group activities. Volunteers assist with physiotherapy, recreation, occupational therapy, nursing and speech language pathology services. They are active as visitors in spiritual and palliative care, assisting clients on the units and accompanying them to activities and appointments both within and outside the hospital. Some volunteer roles have less direct involvement with the clients, assisting with background activities such as organizing library, therapy and craft materials, folding newsletters, and recording minutes of the Residents' Council meetings. |
