Giving the Gift of Your Time

Join McLean’s Memory Care Volunteer Program to provide support to caregivers

The McLean Memory Care Volunteers provide non-medical services as needed for the Memory Care client and their family.  The broad range of services for clients may include one-to-one social interaction, sharing a passion for art or teaching a new hobby, music therapy, writing someone’s life history, reading aloud, or just simply engaging in conversation.  Clients may be served in their home or in assisted living or in a skilled nursing facility.

 It is easy to get started with a few simple steps and you can begin to make a difference in the lives of seniors and their care givers.
