Nursing Homes
The door is wide open for
many services in the nursing home. Do not wait for the homes to
call for help, have your group volunteer to read to the
residents, sing songs, play instruments, perform skits or magic
tricks, play cards or whatever idea your group may have to make
life easier for the elderly.
