Lions Gate is a non-profit agency which is affiliated with the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey. It is a continuing care retirement community. That means that we provide various levels of care to residents as their needs change as they continue to age. The residents in the Health Care Center receive skilled and intermediate nursing care around the clock. Residents in the Assisted Living facility have individual apartments and get assistance with the activities of daily living. The residents of the Independent Living live on their own in apartments or cottages without daily assistance, but with the benefit of support services.
At Lions Gate we offer a wide variety of activities to residents. Our goal is to meet the social, recreational, spiritual, and intellectual needs of our residents through diversified programming. Volunteers are needed in the following areas to support those efforts:
1. Friendly visitors to read to and visit with residents.
2. Activity Assistants to help with crafts, play games, transport residents to activities, etc…
3. Entertainers to share musical, dancing, and theatrical talents with residents.
4. Religious Service Assistants to provide support to the Rabbi during religious services.
5. Individuals to work in the Gift Shop.
No experience is needed to be a volunteer. The only requirements are that you are
patient, have a big heart, and the desire to enrich the lives of our elderly residents. Your efforts will be rewarded tenfold by a feeling of immense satisfaction that you have brightened someone’s day. However, as a volunteer at Lions Gate, you will be responsible for upholding the friendly, respectful, and hospitable environment that we strive to afford to all those who live in and visit our community.
Are you interested in coming in to meet our elders and to see how you can make a difference? We would love to hear from you. Please contact Stephanie Ross, Volunteer Coordinator at: (856) 679-2206 or, sross@lionsgateccrc.org.
