🔷 Activity Details
Description
Our nursing home “Soziales Kompetenz-zentrum Rum” (SOKO Rum) takes care of seniors and dependent persons based on short- and long-termcare. For this purpose, the town of Rum has created our special housing complex that consists of 69 single rooms and 13 barrier-free rooms for the elderly. We try to support people during their daily routines, to make space for motivation and personal achievements and to create a respectful and homey atmosphere for this target group.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Your accommodation will be in Rum (9500 residents), which is ten minutes away by bus from the city centre of Innsbruck, Tyrol. You will stay in a fully equipped room, 3rd floor, bathroom included, where towels, linen and cleaning products are offerd. A washing maschine is provided in the building of SOKO organization where you can eat as well. It is important to commit to the security rules of the accommodation. Costs for public transport and personal needs are provided. 7 Euros pocket money daily.
Training during the activity
- to work in the building of SOKO where the elderly people live - to prepare and serve meals, cleaning dishes, collect laundry and supplies - support of inhabitants during their day-to-day activities - to participate in various group activities - to create and implement a personal project (with our professional support of course :-)) - to join regular team meetings - to participate on activities of the coordinating organisation called Cubic (where you will meet other volunteers) - to join a language course for German - OnArrivalTraining and MidTermMeeting organised by the Austrian NA for ESC
Participant profile
You need to be interested in working with elderly people. It is not for everyone to work in a slow atmosphere which is also about disabilities, disease and medical support. But in context of a society which becomes older and older, it can be very interesting to reflect on ageing and about the conditions and circumstances “old people” have to deal with nowadays. We are happy to host a volunteer who has a stable personality, in order to be able to work with our residents, is open-minded, friendly, enthusiastic, creative and communicative, is motivated to learn German (and Tyrolean German dialect), wants to gain social, intercultural, communication and nursing skills, would like to work in a new but interesting environment, brings her or his own culture and interests into the project.

Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
