I would like to start volunteering?

Question

I would like to volunteer in either an aged care facility or help people with a disability. I live on the Mid North Coast between Kempsey and Nambucca ( Australia) . Have tried google searches without much success, most sites are for the big cities.

Even helping out in a soup kitchen or Meals on Wheels.

All answers would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Go to Hospital Soup and type in the city/state. They should come up with hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab centers.

Answer 2

Check the phone book yellow pages for:

convalescent hospitals and retirement homes.

Answer 3

Check out Rehabilatation services.

Answer 4

Do you have a local senior center?  They usually set up Meals on Wheels.  Also, in the U.S., we have Job and Family Services.  They can tell you about local shut-ins that would enjoy company.    If you are close to, or even involved in a church, some of them have Senior Care programs.  Good luck!
