Adult Day Health Summer Afternoon Reception

We are looking for personable, welcoming, and detail oriented volunteers to assist with minor administrative tasks, answering phones, and checking participants in and out of our Adult Day Health main center (ADH) on either Wednesdays, or Thursdays from 1:00-5:00PM. This role is integral to supporting the Durham Center for Senior Life's Adult Day Health program, which provides hands on care, meals, and activities to adults 18+ who are unable to be independent during the day due to conditions such as late stage dementia and other physical or mental challenges and disabilities. The ADH program is in place so that caregivers can feel at ease while they go to work or run errands, knowing their loved one is have a fun and social day. The ADH receptionist serves as a point person for staff, participants and their families and will be asked to make a regular weekly or bimonthly commitment. Please note that one key responsibility will be to make sure the participants do not leave the building on their own, and you may need to step in to keep doors locked and participants inside. however, this is not a frequent occurrence. If you have questions about this responsibility, please reach out to 919-688-8247 ext. 124.
