Volunteer Opportunities

Respond to COVID-19 Crisis

As communities start to allow more visitors, we have begun reintroducing volunteers. This looks different at each community. If you have a connection with a community already, please reach out to the Volunteer Director. If you do not have a connection to a particular community, please contact volunteering@preshomes.org for more information.

Letters of Love

Sign Up Here

Spread hope and kindess by sending greeting cards, artwork, inspirational notes, or small crafts to any PHS community to be distributed to residents and staff in need of a pick-me-up.

Crafting Comfort and Peace

Sign Up Here

Do you knit, crochet, or sew? We would love to give Pocket Prayer Squares to residents who could use some extra comfort. Pocket Prayer Squares are easy for residents to hold and keep with them in their pocket. Patterns are available.

Creating Masks and Gowns

Sign Up Here

Due to worldwide shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (or PPE) we are calling all sewers, both novices and skilled, to create masks and gowns for use when supplies have been depleted.

There are many opportunities for individuals, families, or congregations to get involved in our ministry. For additional ideas and ways to volunteer, click here or email volunteering@preshomes.org

Email Us to inquire about volunteering at our home office, one of our communities, or with Optage®.

Volunteer Testimonials

“Volunteering with residents in nursing homes provides meaning and purpose in my life. I feel like I'm making a difference in the lives of others. Many of the most meaningful interactions I’ve had in recent years are with the seniors I serve while volunteering!”
– Sarah, Arbor Memory Care Volunteer

“When I'm volunteering it's hard to tell who is having more fun, the people there to help out or the people receiving the help. It is so much fun for everyone when we go to Highland Ridge that everyone, as soon as we leave, starts planning the next time we can go and what we can do.”
– Josephine, Highland Ridge Volunteer

"Volunteering with hospice is an opportunity to give back after all the care and support my mother received as a resident.. It is also a gift to me, many have led rich lives and simply enjoy a listening ear."
– Paul, Optage Hospice Volunteer

“Even the simple things like a smile and a look of recognition that I am a familiar face. That always touches my heart and makes me feel good.”
– Ann, Optage Companion Volunteer
