Resumo: The hosting organization is situated in the middle of the cure-town. It is a small town with approximately 7000 inhabitants, in the hearht of the nature-park and so it is inbedded in a scenically very attractive surrounding.

In the past, the volunteers often came to the city in the weekends to spend their free time with other volunteers.

Perfil: The volunteers should have fun delaing with elderly people. The project is open for all young people and likes to work with different nations. Via Eurodesk network the EVS vacancy will be announced.

Tarefas: The good experiences in hosting volunteers which the elderly home has gained during the last years are the basis for the hosting organization to remain as a hosting project. The motivation of the elderly home to host volunteers is to facilitate a diversity and stirring together through the lively exchange between residents and volunteers. The volunteers have the opportunity to involve themselves with their culture, their cultural songs, dances, meals... As a consequence the residents of the senior house get to know something of their culture and at the same time they can show the volunteers the german culture with their habits and customs.

The volunteers will take part and be involved in all regular sequences of the social and psycho-social care of the seniors at the elderlyh ome. In the beginning they get to know the ordinary sequences to have a basis which enables the volunteers to implement their own projects with the residents. Doing this they will get all the support from the staff they will need.
The organization offers a huge spectrum of tasks in all areas. Depending on the skills, wishes and interests of the volunteer, it is possible for them to involve themselves into the different scopes.

Main focus of volunteer tasks will be the social and psycho-social care of the seniors at the organization. This contains to accompany residents to concerts and theatre-visits out-of-home, as well as to go on a shopping spree, to run errands, to go for a stroll and trips.

Within the House the volunteers shall talk to the seniors, play games with them and if it fits to the abilities of the volunteers they can offer creative acitivities to the seniors or sing, dance (dance while sitting) or do sports within the realms of possibility of the residents.

From Monday till Friday daily occupations are taking place for the seniors, they are offered through an ergotherapist. The volunteers have the opportunity to take part in these activities and to support particular residents. Beside sports, games, music and crafts these offers also contain cooking and baking.

The management of the old-age-home is very open-mineded for any offers, the volunteers bring along from their own experiences.
Another task is to assist in the preparation of festivals. They can consider the content as well as the decoration of a room. Beside the seasonable fests like Harvest Festival, St. Nichola´s Day, Christmas, Carnival, Easter - the organization gives action-weeks, for example bavarian, french, italian weeks; Beside the typical food of the particular country also the group-rooms are decorated correspondingly at what the volunteers can take over a central role.

Then there is a resident-newspaper at the organization. The volunteers also have the opportunity to participate operatively.

In case the volunteers want to work artistically, there is a possibility of long-term interior design, for example to design and implement wall-images or design the outdoor area.
Just as nice would be if volunteers with musical abilities arrange small concerts at the old-age home.

Still the old-age home is trying to create a Web Site. This is also a possibility for the volunteers to involve themselves.

The volunteers will work 30 - 35 hours a week at the old-age home. The exact working time depends partly on the interests and activities of the volunteers. Festivals, theatre-visits and concerts will take part partly in the evening hours. Apart from that the volunteers will be acitve in the normal course of operations between 8.30 and 12.00 and between 14.00 and 17.00.
