Resumo: "The home for elderly is up in the black-forest, in Neustadt, surrounded by a beautiful landscape and mountains. The Residential Home for the Elderly St. Raphael is an officially recognized retirement home. The responsible body of the instituion is the catholic social service association ""Caritas-Seniorenzentrum St. Raphael e.V"". The care of the elderly in the Residential Home for the Elderly St. Raphael is performed on a holistic basis, which consider latest findings in the domain of nursery, medical and social care. The individual needs of the elderly are taken into consideration by full collaboration of relatives, physicians and nursing staff. Thereby basic care, therapy and social work complement one another.

Perfil: Volunteers should have a basic knowledge of German and have an interest in, and willingness to work with older and partly gerontopsychiatric disordered people. It's necessary for volunteers to be sociable and outgoing, to have enthusiasm, and to be open to foreign cultures. They should be able to interact well with groups of people. An enthusiastic, responsible and flexible attitude towards the work is important. Volunteers should be willing to learn new skills and share own experince with others, be able to work as a team and contribute to the process and be open to new ideas and be flexible to work in a variety of settings. Language learning should not be the first or only motivation to make a voluntary service in this project. Since the project is situated in a small town, the volunteer must be fully aware of the geographical and social implication of the projects location.

Condições: The apartment of the only volunteer is separate from the institution, but not far. There is no internet access at the flat. Internet access is limited at the institution for checking emails (about 15min per day). The computer is from the social worker and she needs the computer and the room for working. For further use of the internet the volunteer can go to the local library nearby. There is free access to the internet. A trip to Freiburg by bus and train takes about 60 min. The last train from Freiburg leaves at 11:30 pm. There are no buses at night. The next EVS volunteers are about 30 min away. A person doing an EVS-service in Neustadt should be independent and active. Otherwise one might get lonely and isolated, because meeting people does not happen by itself. Neustadt is at 900m elevation, which means that there is a lot of snow in the winter and very good possibilities for winter-sports. We offer extra language training in Neustadt at one or two evenings. This gives the volunteer the possibility to participate in three language trainings: once in Freiburg and twice in Neustadt.
