Are you interested in becoming a volunteer at The Willochra Home? We would love to hear from you!
The Willochra Home offers a range of daily activities for our Residents.
· We encourage exercise by offering Tai Chi and Thursday Morning ‘Aerobics’.
· Our competitive streak comes out with word and number bingo days, as well as when we play carpet bowls and putt putt golf!
· Our Residents get creative in the kitchen on cooking mornings.
· We have ‘pamper sessions’ on Wednesdays and Fridays with nail care and hairdressing.
· We have a number of entertainers who visit the Home to sing for our Residents.
· We have weekly Church Services in our Chapel.
· Our Residents also choose their activity of choice each Friday after lunch.
· We have ‘Men’s Group’ or better known as the ‘Friday Afternoon BBQ’. We encourage our Residents to sit out in the BBQ area and enjoy each other’s company, whilst having a sausage in bread and a beverage.
· We celebrate everyone’s birthday at Willochra. Our lovely kitchen team bakes the birthday cakes and decorates them. We are very lucky!
· We have recently fundraised for a new bus! We endeavour to have lots of bus outings (weather permitting).
· The Willochra Home utilises the Crystal Brook Op-Shop every February – this is one of our biggest fundraisers for the year!
· We have lots of fundraising events throughout the year.
· We celebrate all significant days in the year to support and include all staff, as we pride ourselves on being a multicultural workforce.
These are just a few of the things we do here as part of our Activities Program.
If you have some new and exciting ideas, we are eager to hear them!
As a volunteer you don’t have set hours; but our activity times are usually 10:30am and 1:30pm.
All volunteers must have a current National Police Check, Aged Care Sector Employment Check, and Working With Children Check. If you do not have these checks, we are able to apply for them for you.
