In the beautiful Atrium (covered courtyard) of Smeetsland, our residents enjoy virtuoso piano playing every Monday morning. We need your helping hands to guide the residents to and from this space. So do you have 2 hours to spare every Monday morning and do you want to make this your task? Please contact me so that we can discuss the options together. Do it!

I am an informal care coordinator at Aafje Smeetsland (with a focus on family, informal caregivers and volunteers). I have a lot of contact with family, informal caregivers and volunteers, offering them support and guidance, which is essential to tailor the right activities and daytime activities to the wishes and needs of our clients. I would like to tell our current and new volunteers that they make a difference in our healthcare organization, that they are looked forward to and counted on. I would like to give them the satisfaction they receive when they provide support with an activity, are a buddy, help with garden maintenance or just want to have a chat with that client who needs it so much. Affinity with our target groups, dementia, psychiatry and rehabilitation care is important, but I also offer guidance and support in this regard. Offering a listening ear, being patient, keeping agreements made and being able to interact with the target groups or being willing to learn is what we ask of volunteers. In return, the volunteers receive a lot of appreciation, understanding and satisfaction.
