I am currently fortunate to be regularly involved in patient care and at the Maison\u2019s reception desk. In addition to these usual tasks, I handle data entry for the CISSSO and Sant\u00e9 Qu\u00e9bec and update the documents used by volunteers in care and at reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What made you want to get involved with the Maison?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After retiring from health care, the Maison\u2019s philosophy and approach gave me the opportunity to use my experience and keep giving my time in a different but familiar environment.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you gain from your volunteer experience here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sense of belonging to a big family. <br>A simple hello, a quick response to a request for help or the delivery of a meal makes a real difference for the people we welcome here.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is there a special moment or memory you would like to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first day back after the pandemic, in June 2020. <br>The Maison was in the middle of its expansion, with a table serving as the care aides\u2019 station, the main kitchen in the basement, and masks, face shields and gowns required every time we entered a room. Yet despite all that, the work atmosphere was the same and the care provided was just as effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What would you say to someone thinking about volunteering at the Maison?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the time to learn about the Maison\u2019s mission.
