Volunteers

The Heidehof Long Term Care Facility held it's Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and Awards Presentation on the evening of April 21, 2010.

Approximately 100 volunteers between the ages of 19 and 85 years in age attended.

The Administrator and Board of Directors had the pleasant task of presenting many of them with awards such as certificates, seals, Logo-pins and rubies added to their pins.

Volunteers have given their time and talents anywhere from a few months and thirty years. Our much valued Volunteers have helped greatly to make Heidehof the great " People Place " that it is today.

Many thanks to all Volunteers, from the Board of Directors, Staff, Residents and Tenants.

Heidehof relies significantly on volunteers to enhance the quality of life for our residents in our complex. Volunteers supplement and extend the work of the staff with their valued contributions of time and skill. Volunteers perform a wide range of services from a simple friendly visit to assisting with programs.

Heidehof continually looks for new volunteers to share their talents with us. No time is too great or too small to volunteer. Volunteers are needed to work with residents directly or behind the scenes. If you are interested please call and we will find something you can do within your comfort level.

Approximately 140 registered volunteers contributed over 19,941.5 hours for this past year. A summary of the types of volunteer work undertaken is as follows:
