ONE ON ONE GOLDEN CARE CLUB
The goal of the One on One Golden Care Club is to enhance the lives of the Goldens at the Sanctuary & Center by periodically having a One on One Care volunteer spend a large segment of time during the day with just one Sanctuary Resident. The One on One Caregiver provides that specific Golden with experiences that bring comfort, happiness and cognitive stimulation.
They provide significant time for the Golden Resident with the One on One Caregiver outside their individual living unit participating in the following activities :
If the One on One volunteer caregiver is not trained in grooming, that will be done by a volunteer groomer and just brushing and massage will be done by the One on One volunteer.
Massage classes will be part of the Club’s training program. Full body massages may not be appropriate for Goldens with certain Cancers.
The Club Volunteers provide services on a per diem schedule and the volunteers can come any day of the week for a minimum of 4 hours per visit. We do ask that you provide visits 2 to 4 times during a month. Of course if you prefer to come more frequently the Goldens will greatly enjoy your presence.
