• Read to the patient or join them in watching a favorite TV program

• Play games with the patient

• Take the patient outside or for a walk

• Reminisce with them about their military career, profession, family, and listen to their stories

• Be a comforting support and presence

This is a volunteer role and does not provide an hourly wage or other compensation

Volunteer Requirements:
