The volunteer will work in the Katharina-von-Bora-Haus, which is a residential project for people with disabilities run by the Stephanus Foundation. The Katharina-von-Bora-Haus offers diverse living and support opportunities for people with severe disabilities. There are six residential groups living in the KvB, with eight residents each. The residents are between 25 and 85 years old, but most of them are elderly people with severe physical and mental disabilities e.g. dementia, in need of a lot care. The volunteer will support the staff in one of the residential living groups. About eight mostly elderly residents live there together as independently as possible. The volunteer will assist them in situations where support is needed: offering and supporting leisure activities such as playing music or guidance when going shopping, but also helping in their daily activities such as getting up and getting dressed. The volunteer will not be working in the field of hygiene.
