Making a difference

With the longer, brighter, and warmer days ahead, our residents look forward to participating in various social activities and outings. “It is with much gratitude and appreciation for our volunteers that we can provide an outstanding activities program for our residents,” says Jessica Lynch, volunteer coordinator at McHarrie Life. Volunteers are an important part of the McHarrie Life team. They help transport residents to activities and outings, assist with special events and luncheons, play cards and games, and much more. “We welcome new volunteers to join our team,” says Lynch.

Social events and activities are the highlights of our residents’ day. Our volunteers make a difference by sharing their kindness, friendship, devotion, humor, and empathy with our residents.

More than 150 residents live in McHarrie Pointe Assisted Living, Sage Court memory care, and skilled nursing care. Those residing at Sage Court are in the early stages of memory loss and benefit significantly from companionship and camaraderie with volunteers. “Our activities program at Sage Court includes daily exercise, walking group, manicures, Yahtzee, happy hour, trivia, dancing, and movie nights, so there is something for everyone to enjoy,” says Lynch.

There are no hourly requirements, and volunteers are encouraged to choose activities that best fit their personal interests and schedules.
