Palolo Chinese Home

Activities and Duties

  • Individual room visits
  • Activities, crafts or gardening: Palolo Chinese Home (PCH) has basic materials such as paper, scissors, glue. You can come up with craft activities on your own and bring in additional supplies to make it work.  Another example: you can do a project that teaches the residents to plant a flower in a pot and take care of it. Any materials for things like this will be reimbursed by PCH if you keep your original receipts.
  • Special events: If you have a special talent for singing, dancing, playing music, you are welcome to do an interactive “show” and involve the residents in that way.
  • Help with resident satisfaction survey if directed to do so by the staff.

Time frames & check-in info for service

Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays: Sign in at the Senior Day Care Center

How to Get Started

  1. Register online for service-learning and print Community Connection Form. Palolo Chinese Home is your project/site.

Notes

Please be aware of the four stages of dementia; many residents are going through them at different rates. Think about the challenges this poses for their families.
