Volunteer visitors able to converse in Greek
Latrobe Community Health/Link Health and Community
The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme connects people of the same or different cultures to older members of the community living in aged care homes.
Volunteers chatting in the residents first language (Greek) can make any person regardless of age feel like home, but especially for members of the elderly community. Simple gestures like this can have a positive impact reducing social isolation and improving well-being.
