Rethink the role of volunteers...

Wherever there are nursing homes, whether in the U.S. or around the world, there is an ever-growing need for highly trained, committed, compassionate, passionate volunteers to be companions for the people living there. No one should have to endure feelings of loneliness or isolation.


Learn how...

"Creating the Volun-Cheer Force" is a guide to creating sustainable and valuable volunteers recruited and trained to mitigate the adverse effects of loneliness. Falkowski shares his 30 years of experience and personal stories of how volunteers impact people's quality of life. Time is a precious commodity among care staff. Volunteers have the "luxury of time." Now is an excellent time to read this book. Or buy a copy for your leaders. Get it here:
