caring for seniors workshopS

The actual cost per participant in this training series is $188.
Fortunately, Buchanan Lodge has received a grant from The Salvation
Army to fully fund up to 12 participants who wish to train as
volunteers to care for the residents of Buchanan Lodge. To qualify
for this fully funded “scholarship”, candidates should fill out the
enclosed registration form with as much detail as possible.
Preference will be given to those who are committing to work with
Buchanan Lodge in the near future. Space is limited so timeliness will
also be a factor in receiving a scholarship.
You can send the completed registration to:
Buchanan Lodge | 409 Blair Ave | New Westminster, BC | V3L 4A4

Our Spiritual Health Team is training volunteers primarily to visit
with residents and provide spiritual care. Other volunteers may want
to help gather residents for programs, some may want to support
programs (like Chapel, Spiritual Reflections or Alpha) with music,
speaking, or even leadership roles.
Training as a group will also create an ongoing network of support
for like-minded care-givers! Caring for these seniors has inspired our
team of chaplains, who’ve all served as senior pastors for decades.
We are sure our volunteers will feel that same joy!
