Giving Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunities

Time, Talent, and Treasure
We encourage everyone to consider becoming a part of our communities. Whether you are a resident, a family member, or a neighbor, we urge you to step up your involvement. Our communities, including the residents and the staff, rely on your support to continue the important work of helping individuals face the challenges of rehabilitation or aging.

We can use your time.
Whatever you can give, from an hour a month to several days a week, we invite you to consider becoming a volunteer. We have opportunities for you to work one-on-one with residents or in group activities. From pet therapy to serving lunch, there are a wide variety of “jobs” that need doing.

Your talent is a gift that keeps on giving.
Whether you are a musician or a ceramics maven, a yoga instructor or a whiz on the phones, we can use your talents to enhance the lives of residents and their families. We guarantee that your life will be improved with each smile that you help bring out! If you have a talent for fundraising or a Rolodex® full of potential donors you’d like to contact for us – welcome to the team! Do you have a flair for writing or a passion for photography? We can use your help!

Each individual is a treasure.
Each individual is a treasure, and our donors are among our very special friends. We have existing funds at each facility that support building enhancements, recreational activities, and staff education. We have specialty funds, such as the Jane Haze Memorial Pet Therapy Fund, that have been created in memory of someone with a specific goal in mind.  Gifts in honor or in memory of someone are a special way to commemorate an occasion while helping another individual have a better life. Other ways of sharing your treasure can include stock transfers, bequests, and naming opportunities. In the past year, we received a generous gift in memory of Gail DePaolo that supported the purchase and installation of a fireplace at Southington Care Center.  We are also developing Planetree Gardens in our beautiful outdoor courtyard.

There are many ways to give, and all of them bring benefit to the donor as well as the recipient. We hope you will consider the many ways you can contribute, and contact us to talk about your philanthropic or volunteering goals.
