Volunteering
The Volunteer program is designated to create special moments in residents’ lives and enhance Salem Home’s commitment to providing Christ-centered care, embracing the values of Compassion, Dignity, Excellence, and Faith.
Funding for the Volunteer program is provided in part by the Salem Foundation and United Way Pembina Valley.
Our Volunteer Team focuses on building relationships while providing excellent care and support.
Each of our Volunteer team members possess a wide range of skills, experience and education, but at the forefront is always compassion.
You will provide support for all other departments so they can focus on providing residents with their best lived experience. You will use your skills and critical thinking in the multi-faceted care provided in a relationship-centred care environment.
We are always looking for talented individuals to become part of the team. If you’ve got strong focus, and values that can help fulfil our mission, apply now and become a part of the Volunteer Team at Salem Home.

Thank you all for everything you do to create special moments in the lives of the residents. “Weaving is a work of mindfulness, of taking time to give attention to the details that will contribute to the woven piece’s unity.

With the sun and the melting snow we’ve been feeling like spring ☀️☀️

The first Tuesday in April is known as National Caregiver Day. We want to acknowledge the amazing contributions and inspiration we see from the Caregivers that are involved at Salem Home. There are many different types of caregivers we see come through our halls. Caregivers can be the best friends who calls every night at 7:00pm to see how the day went. They are the children who brings their loved one fresh soup and treats. They are the volunteers who spend the evenings playing games and visiting. They are the staff that take an extra 5 minutes to make sure a resident feels loved when they leave the room.
Caregivers experience many emotions when caring for the people around them. Dealing with all the unknown, the new situations, new people, new words to learn can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. We want to thank you for your dedication, passion and love. You feel like your work is invisible, but we see it, and the residents feels it.

Saturday mornings are bingo!
We are always looking for volunteers. Are you interested in being a Bingo Buddy?
Bingo Buddies bring joy to bingo by developing a relationship with residents while assisting with ensuring the called numbers are marked, engaging residents, and providing connection to our community.

Seriously, the Obie is the coolest. It has multiple games that vary in levels of difficulty and can be cast on the floor, a table or a wall, depending on the mobility and abilities of the residents.#salemhomecareers #salemhomevolunteers
