Tacoma Nursing & Rehabilitation is searching for reliable and trustworthy volunteers to join our organization. The volunteer’s responsibilities include completing tasks assigned by the supervisor, upholding the organization’s values, and maintaining a high degree of professionalism with our residents, staff, and families.

Volunteers play an important role in the lives of our residents, and we view them as an essential part of our team. If you have a passion for seniors and are interested in giving your time, here are what some of our volunteer opportunities look like: 

Volunteer Responsibilities:

Large group activities. Volunteers can help with everything from setting up and serving refreshments to distributing supplies during large group activities like picnics, holiday parties, monitor smoking breaks, and community outreach events.

Small group activities. If you want to help with small group activities, you can expect to spend more one-on-one time with our residents. Some of these activities may include art workshops, book club meetings and game time.

Individual activities. Sometimes volunteers can work with individual residents. They may be asked to read to a resident who is sight-impaired, help a resident with arthritis write a letter or simply visit with residents who aren’t as comfortable in large group settings.

Clergy services. Members of the clergy who come as individuals on a regular basis to provide religious services or one-on-one visits to residents are considered volunteers. 

Off-site excursions. These volunteers can accompany residents and staff on the community bus on a space-available basis. Alternatively, volunteers who wish to attend an off-site activity may meet the residents at the outing location.

Requirements to Volunteer:

• Understand that volunteers are here for the benefit of the residents
• Willing to submit to a background check and test negative for tuberculosis (TB)
• Complete simple paperwork and orientation
