HELP is an evidence-based, volunteer led program that aims to prevents delirium in older hospitalised adults.
As a HELP volunteer, you will visit patients to:
- implement support actions to reduce the risk factors that may lead to delirium, and
- improve their overall hospital experience as no-one should be alone while in hospital.
HELP volunteers provide tailored support in several areas, including:
- offering companionship and conversation
- assisting with eyewear and hearing aids
- providing activities to promote mental stimulation
- supporting and encouraging nutrition and hydration at mealtimes (open packaging, pouring water etc)
- encouraging movement
- promoting a calm and friendly environment
