How much time do you have for developing volunteer training?
And how much time for actually training your volunteers?
What can you do right now?
You can take advantage of our online volunteer training…
While you are working hard to create opportunities for your volunteer workforce, you can further their engagement by encouraging them to complete an online training course specifically for nursing home volunteers. When they return to the nursing home they will be better prepared to serve you and the people for whom you care, possessing deeper insight into aging and the aging process.
So who has the time to research and develop training for your volunteers? I DO! BECAUSE THAT IS ALL I DO!
Well-trained volunteers with quality training become a valuable asset both to your residents as well as your staff.
Studies show that volunteers want quality training.
They want ongoing training too!
What are your volunteers doing today?
Even in the midst of COVID-19,
they could be completing this training from home!
Why? Because it is entirely all online!

The training is designed for adult learning. It is interactive and engaging. There are group discussions, role-playing, case studies, and opportunities to explore their own understanding of aging and the aging process. The training is lock-stepped so that each training module needs to be completed before moving to the next one. When the volunteer completes the training they receive a “Certificate of Completion” that they are able to download and print.
There are 10 modules (listed below) and they can be customized to fit your community’s unique needs. In addition, new modules can be added to the training as well. The training can be customized to fit your needs.
Topics include:
- Changing Demographics
- Myths and Stereotypes
- Person-Centered Care & the Volunteer
- Levels of Care
- Identifying the Needs of Residents
- Meeting the Needs of Residents
- Basic Communication Skills
- Non-Verbal Communications
- Being a Team Player
- HIPAA/Resident Rights
So whether you have a training program in place that needs updating or desiring to start a training program from the ground up, contact me to learn how I can help you put together a premier training program for your volunteers.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve trained and placed well over 600 volunteers for long-term care communities. At that time, I learned that our cities and towns are home to talented people who are looking for meaningful ways to give back to their communities. With this in mind, I’ve taken the step to move this training online.
So, feel free to contact me! I would be happy to discuss your existing program or help you develop your program from the ground up.
Why am I so passionate about volunteer training? I’m excited about this because I’ve been there and know what you are facing, and I know what volunteers can do when they are properly trained. With that said, I’m very flexible on my fees and will work with whatever budget you have. I’m here to help you. My CV is available upon request.
