Make a PAWsitive impact by visiting with your four-legged friend! Bring along your good-natured pet and spend time chatting with people who may be frail and elderly at our residential aged care home in Miranda. You'll see what a difference your furry friend can make. As you're bringing your pet into a care environment with frail and elderly residents, we ask that your pet is: Calm, patient, and gentle in nature Up-to-date with vaccinations and treatment for worms and fleas Nails should be short and blunt. Freshly cut nails can be sharp if not filed down. Dogs should be kept on a lead at all times. Your impact Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit and for yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help improve quality of life and reduce feelings of isolation. HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and aims to promote connections between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
