Just read what our wonderful Brompton Heights Volunteers have to say:

Sister Francis Marie Vallone, Religious Services Volunteer

"It has been three years since I first started visiting the residents of Brompton Heights. The residents who attend our gathering for prayer have been very receptive and seem to enjoy praying together every Tuesday morning. We pray the rosary and also have a Holy Communion Service. The staff members have been kind and cooperative. Visiting and volunteering my services at Brompton Heights has been a rewarding experience for me. I also believe the residents who attend our celebration of prayer have enjoyed it as well."

Ed Green, Recreation and Maintenance Volunteer

"The people on the Brompton Heights staff are accommodating. I like the way they follow up on the jobs that they assign me and I enjoy the freedom they give me. Also I am thankful for the free meal they give me while I am volunteering. I also attend the Rosary on Tuesdays with Sister Fran." 

Zach Kernan, Exercise, Ice Cream, and Night Volunteer

"I have a blast volunteering at Brompton Heights. The residents are a ton of fun to work with and have become close friends. As a physical therapy student at University of Buffalo, Brompton Heights has been a great place to volunteer. I've learned a lot from the residents in leading group activities and developing exercise programs."

What do the residents say about Zach?

Thomas Sweeney, Exercise Volunteer

"What I like most about Brompton Heights is the family atmosphere. Every event is a party in its own right. Even in an exercise class the laughs and smiles never stop, and the residents take great pride in helping out and participating in every program. If you can imagine going to a family party every day, this is what volunteering at Brompton Heights is like."

"Tom's a real gentleman. I like his approach to exercise." -Josie

Carol

As a resident volunteer, Carol assists the Recreation Director by folding each month's newsletter and calendar. Carol also reviews the calendars to makes sure that all activities are programs that residents really enjoy. Her help is greatly appreciated!

Shirley - “I started caring for Brompton’s plants and flowers about 5 years ago. Since then I have learned s lot about taking care of plants, and I also find it very relaxing. It has really become a hobby of mine over the years.” Shirley helps staff and others residents take care of the plants in the building and does a great job, if she doesn’t know how to care for a certain kind of flower she researches the flower. We in the Recreation Department would like to thank her for all her help.

Casey

As a resident volunteer, Casey holds the door for residents while they enter and exit the Recreation Room for activities programs. Casey does this for absolutely every recreation activity! His fellow residents are all grateful for his gentlemanly conduct.
