Share a Chat, a Laugh, and Maybe a Game of Chess A couple of elderly gentlemen living in Residential Aged Care at HammondCare Darlinghurst would enjoy spending time with a 'mate' who appreciates valuable conversation and companionship. One gentleman is outgoing, health-conscious and quick with a joke. He enjoys talking about a wide range of topics and would love the opportunity to learn chess with someone willing to share the game. The other gentleman enjoys television, including classic sitcoms such as Friends, and can happily chat about life, memories and everyday topics. Having lived in Bondi for many years and previously enjoying regular swims, he would benefit from gentle encouragement and companionship as he rebuilds his confidence to venture outside for a short walk. Both gentlemen are thoughtful, conversational and enjoy meaningful discussion, but connections take time to develop. A volunteer who is happy to visit regularly and build a genuine friendship could make a wonderful difference to their week. -HammondCare Darlinghurst -Monday or Tuesday visits at 10:00am or 1:00pm -Weekly or fortnightly visits Whether it's sharing a joke, discussing life, watching the world go by, playing chess or taking a short stroll together, your visit could become a valued part of someone's week. Your impact Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
