What to Know Before You Volunteer
Thank you for your enthusiasm to volunteer at The Tulip Place! To prepare, please watch our training video, The Fundamentals of Person-Centered Dementia Care in Respite Environments, for insights into care programs. Here’s what makes our dementia day program unique:
- Socialization and Joy: Our days are filled with laughter and fun, guided by our members’ interests. You’ll help facilitate activities like games, art, or cooking, acting as an extra set of hands or eyes while respecting each member’s dignity and autonomy. Please stay engaged—join conversations and avoid phone use during activities.
- Person-Centered Care: Our members have varying levels of dementia, which may affect short-term memory. Avoid using “remember” or discussing their diagnosis, as this can cause distress. Instead, focus on the moment, supporting their choices and comfort.
- Supporting Caregivers: You’ll meet caregivers at drop-off and pick-up. Kindly direct any concerns or questions to staff to ensure we address families’ needs thoughtfully.
