Since its foundation in 1974, Johanniter Nederland has developed different projects in the areas of home care, social services, care for elderly and homeless people as well as persons with disabilities. It also offers holidays for the latter.
The Project
In 2023, we are going to organise five holiday weeks for older people in need of care. Every week-long holiday will be spent at a hotel in the Netherlands, with several trips planned
The Volunteer
The volunteers participating in the week take care of the holiday guests. Helping someone to shower and get dressed is an example of what care is given. Sometimes it can be necessary to help someone go to the toilet. During the week, we make several trips. The volunteers come along to help the guests. Taking someone by the arm or pushing a wheelchair can be one of the tasks to all over ensure that the guest has a carefree, happy holiday.
Where?
The holiday weeks will take place in Lemele (province Overijssel), Lunteren (province Gelderland) and in Ermelo (province Gelderland).
When?
22nd -28th April: Het Bosgoed in Lunteren
6th -12nd May: Het Hallehuis (Imminkhoeve) in Lemele
