GoalIndus Community Services is a charity with significant presence in Peel region (Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon). Our mission is to support growing communities, to manage change through quality, client-centred, social & health services and responsive public education.As our community begins to emerge from COVID-19's restrictions and months of isolation, Indus seeks volunteers who can visit home bound clients, who are lonely, isolated, physically and/or cognitively impaired. Volunteers would be interacting with clients with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and/or varying mental health concerns. Visits with clients ideally are conducted 'in person' (although in some matches, a mix of 'virtual' and 'in person' visits may occur), in the comfort of the client's home, hospital or assisted living setting. Volunteers provide social support and companionship, and engage clients in meaningful and stimulating activities of interest. Furthermore, as Peel sees increasing age in its residents, the need for these services is both growing and critical. |
