Lutheran Home Opportunities


Art Assistant

The Lutheran Home now has a Four Season’s Art Studio. We are looking for individuals who are interested in working with older adults on a variety of creative projects.  Volunteers must be compassionate, thoughtful, and interested in being a part of a creative and therapeutic environment that fosters meaningful connections and community.

Beauty Shop Volunteer

Going to the beauty shop is the highlight of our residents’ week! Volunteers transport residents to and from the beauty shop and help with towel folding and other basic tasks. Volunteers are needed on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. It is preferred that volunteers make a commitment of one day per week, however, an on-call list is available for those unable to do so.

Bingo Volunteer

Transport residents to our beautiful in-house Chapel, enjoy the service, and visit with the residents as you take them back to their floor. Volunteers are needed on Sundays from 9:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. This is a great opportunity for a church group or a family wishing to volunteer.

Comfort Care Volunteer

Comfort Care volunteers will receive specialized training through the Chaplaincy Department that will assist them in being with residents at end of life.

Annual events include a kickoff luncheon, Christmas Tea, Summer Ice Cream Social, and an annual outing.  Monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month from Sept. through June.

Mail Delivery Volunteers

Help our residents receive their mail on a timely basis. Sort the mail by unit and floor, and then deliver mail to resident rooms.  Basic office skills are a plus, as well as a commitment to serving at least one day per week.

One-to-One Visitor

Provide companionship to our residents by making conversation, playing games, doing puzzles, listening to music, reading, or taking walks while enjoying each others company and becoming friends. This is a very rewarding and flexible position.

Pet Therapy Volunteer

If you have a dog or cat that has gone through a pet therapy program and is a certified therapy dog or cat, we would love for both of you to join our pet therapy team. Visit with our residents while listening as they share their own stories about their family pets, and bring a smile to the faces of everyone you visit.

If you like to keep moving, this volunteer opportunity is for you! Assist our in-house physical therapy department by transporting residents to and from their appointments. Meet and get to know rehab patients who are actively participating in their own recovery.

Recreational Activities Volunteer

Assist our Recreational Therapy department in transporting and engaging residents in activities – from Bingo, music programs, crafts to themed parties – there is always something in store. We also need volunteer assistance with our many trips – festivals, boating, shopping, scenic rides, and museums are just a few of the exciting trips we plan for our residents.

Resident Bio Volunteer

Volunteer will visit new residents that move in on our skilled nursing units and talk with them about their interests, likes, hobbies, favorite things, etc. to form a bio that our staff will put together. The volunteer will have a form of questions to follow/fill out while they are doing this. It also gives the volunteer a chance to get to know the residents. The schedule is on their own time!

Sewing Room Merchandise Organizer

If you love clothing and enjoy working with the elderly, this volunteer opportunity is for you. Volunteers are needed to aid in the process of sorting our donated apparel into sizes and styles, as well as folding and hanging clothing for display, arranging jewelry, helping to keep the shop tidy, and other miscellaneous duties. During store hours (Tues. and Thurs. from 1:00 p.m.-2 p.m.), greet and assist residents in their selection of clothing and jewelry. Volunteer must be comfortable with and respectful of the elderly. Organization skills are important.
