The program started as a research model to prevent delirium in hospitalized o lder patients\, but continues as a structured\, volunteer based interventi on in hospitals across the world. The main goal of this program is to main tain cognitive and physical functioning of high risk older adults througho ut their hospitalization.\n\nThe unique aspect of HELP is that it engages and trains volunteers to perform targeted interventions with elderly patie nts in a hospital setting. Interventions include daily orientation\, basic active range of motion\, meal set-up and encouragement\, and recreational activities. This allows patients to receive personalized and holistic car e that positively impacts their social well-being and recovery.\n\nVolunte ers undergo an intensive training that equips them with basic skills neede d to work in a hospital. The training and hands-on experience they receive can be transferable to various settings and can be used with a variety of patients. Many of our volunteers go on to have careers in health care\, w here they implement the valuable skills learnt during their time with HELP .\n\nCome to this info session to learn more about how to become a volunte er.
