Resumo: The host organization is a residence for elderly people and it is a private nursing home for elderly people, some of them are still independent, but most of them are in need of some care. Our main goal is to find a way to keep up their biggest possible autonomy, while giving all the support needed.
Based on the biographies of every resident, the residence generates an individual care plan, which will be realized by our specialized nursing staff. In addition to our support service we offer an all-round activities program for the elderly (trips, cinema, movement classes…).

At the hosting organisations residence Astrid Huber is responsible for the support of the volunteers and for making their time schedule. The volunteers can find open ears for their needs and questions.
It is important for the hosting organisation that the volunteer already has a basic knowledge of German (at least level A2), as the elderly people only speak German (Tyrolean dialect) and hardly any English. Thus, this is important for the development of the project.
