Volunteering at Intercare

Volunteers are a very important part of the Intercare Team. Volunteers enhance the quality of life for residents by supplementing services offered by staff. In addition, volunteer services provide an opportunity for community members to share their talents and establish relationships with our residents, staff and other community members.

Volunteering with Intercare is a great opportunity to make a difference in a resident’s life.  You can be part of an outing or activity; share your talents and skills, work one to one or in a group situation.

We welcome volunteers to help out and work in our Long Term Care and Hospice programs.
