Home Support Exercise Program Volunteer

Oakville, Burlington, Milton & Halton Hills, ON [map]
1 hour / weekly
12 week commitment
We are Halton's most trusted home care provider and have been for over 90 years. As a charity, our focus is caring for you, and we continually re-invest in programs that will help even more people in our community. 

We need volunteers to provide simple exercise guidance and support to frail seniors in their homes for 12 week cycles. As part of this program you will provide support to frail older adults through a standardized exercise program designed to improve strength, balance, mobility, and endurance. You'll learn how to do the set of 10 simple exercises (toe taps, leg raises, wall push ups) safely and how to increase the difficulty level as your clients make progress. 

You'll also learn how to motivate and cheer your client on so that they will get the maximum benefit out of the program. The results are fantastic- over 90% of clients see improvements. 

This opportunity is great of University or College students!
