Toe Nail Cutting:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex
Older people often experience difficulty
reaching their feet so cutting toe nails can
become a problem. After training, volunteers
carry out simple toenail cutting in client's
homes or in designated venues. More complex foot
care is never undertaken.
Volunteers should be reliable, honest, patient
and responsible with good listening skills.
--------------------------------------------
Home from Hospital:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex
Volunteers visit people in their homes after
their discharge from hospital in order to offer
practical and emotional support for a short term
(4-6 weeks). You may have to do some shopping,
collect prescriptions or other light tasks
making the client's life a little easier.
Volunteers need to be trustworthy and reliable
with good listening and communication skills.
--------------------------------------------
Befriending Volunteers:
Age Concern, all across East Sussex
Volunteers befriend older people living alone in
their own homes in order to provide
companionship for a specified period of time.
They assist older people in something of their
choosing which will make their life more
pleasurable or grant them a greater degree of
independence. Examples could be joining the
local library, trips to the shops, restoring
contact with lost friends.
Volunteers need to be trustworthy and reliable
with good listening and communication skills.
