How Volunteers Make a Difference in the Lives of Seniors Every Day

At New Brighton Care Center, we’ve seen time and time again how volunteers make a difference in the daily lives of our residents. Whether it’s lending a hand at bingo or simply sharing a conversation, our volunteers bring energy, comfort, and connection into our community.


👥 The Power of Presence: Why Volunteers Matter in Senior Care

For seniors in long-term care, consistent social interaction and engagement can significantly improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Volunteers aren’t just helpers, they’re friendly faces, creative contributors, and emotional support systems.


Here’s how volunteers make a difference at NBCC:

  • 🎵 Sharing their talents like music, crafts, or spiritual support

  • 🧩 Assisting with activities and events including bingo and games

  • 💬 Building meaningful connections through one-on-one visits

  • 🎁 Uplifting the environment by simply being present and kind

Each visit leaves a lasting impact, creating joy-filled moments that matter deeply to our residents.

💡 Real Stories of Volunteer Impact

From a local mother-daughter duo who help with Friday bingo to a compassionate volunteer offering Catholic communion, we are lucky to have people who show up with open hearts and big smiles.

Their presence shows just how much volunteers make a difference, not only by offering help, but by creating real relationships and joyful experiences. Residents look forward to these visits, and they often become the highlights of the week.


🚀 How You Can Get Involved

Looking to give back? Whether you're a student earning service hours, a retiree wanting to stay involved, or someone with a unique skill to share, there’s a place for you at NBCC.

Great ways to volunteer include:

  • Playing an instrument or singing 🎹🎤

  • Leading crafts or teaching a hobby 🧶✂️

  • Helping with games and activities 🎲

  • Sitting and chatting with residents 💛

No experience is required, just a kind heart and a willingness to connect.
