Agency Description:

Extendicare Fairmont Park is a supportive community that focuses on helping people live better by offering individualized care and choices, which promotes independence.  They understand that each resident’s quality of life depends on an approach to care that combines input from residents and family members in collaboration with a team of educated caregivers. This approach ensures that support and care is tailored to meet the needs of each unique person.  All of the facility staff are supported by an experienced administrative team.  The facility is warm, personal, and pleasant and residents are encouraged to bring additional items to personalize their rooms.

How the Community can Help:

Extendicare Fairmont Park has regular volunteer opportunities throughout the year.  You could be a Bingo volunteer, assisting recreation staff with Bingo, a shopping volunteer, accompanying residents on shopping trips, a Dementia friend, where you will spend your time in a secure area, reading, doing crafts or playing music.  You can volunteer as a baking assistant to help residents in creating delicious treats or simply spend some time playing cards.  Whatever you choose to do it will be an enriching experience for both the residents and you.  All volunteers require a recent police information/vulnerable sector check before beginning your position.  A letter of request is available from the facility.  For more information on how you can volunteer for these and other opportunities call Sylvia at 403-320-0102 or email: [email protected]
