Gift giving is a natural human gesture and you may wish to take small gifts on your visit. LITA volunteers visit with the hospital or home where their friend resides. Permission for outings must be granted by the facility. Proper arrangements must be made in advance and all facility prodecures followed. Accurate records of your visit are maintained by the facility, and are used by LITA to keep track of how many people are visiting.
LITA volunteers find their time spent visiting is most rewarding.
The friends they visit literally have their lives changed and their self images improved tremendously. We want to make life happier for the residents. Children and Pets Children bring a special joy and liveliness to the facility, and to their friends. A healthy and happy child will make everyone smile. Children of all ages are welcome in nursing homes, and they help make visiting a family affair.
