Summary
Can you provide the residents with a wonderful taste sensation by cooking together with and for the residents?Detailed description
Small-scale Living Berkenhove is a residential group spread over three homes, each with 6 residents with dementia. Because it is small-scale, we try to involve people in normal daily things. Part of this is cooking. Some residents can help peel potatoes or cut vegetables. Someone else enjoys stirring the pan or setting the tables.
Cooking together has the effect that residents can already smell the aroma of the food in the living room. This allows them to enjoy the meal more because they feel more like eating it.
Attention and friendliness are important parts of this volunteer task.
What are you going to do
• Discuss meals in consultation with employees and who does what, which residents can help;
• Prepare meal;
• To cook;
• Eating with us is fun, if you like that too.
Afterwards you can wash and clean up together with employees and residents.
What can you expect from us?
Introduction to residents and employees of the department. The first few times an employee will cook with you and show you the way. We will explain the equipment to be used and show you around the kitchen. The days and times are in consultation with the living room where you will be cooking. We also offer you expertise training, you will receive travel expenses and you are insured during your work.
What are you taking with you?
You are empathetic and interested in the people you are cooking for. You try to involve the residents in cooking, but sometimes this requires some creativity. Culinary delights are really not necessary, but a certain talent in cooking is useful. Are you that enthusiastic, creative, energetic, patient and service-oriented chef? Then we are looking for you!
We cook every day from 4:00 PM/4:15 PM and we try to finish the meal and clean up the dishes around 6:00 PM/6:30 PM. If you would like to help out once or twice a week, this would be very nice. The day on which is possible in consultation.

What we will provide to volunteers
💸 Reimbursement of costsAbout Atlant
Space is a place, your own environment with everything that goes with it: sound, smell, light, atmosphere, colour, thoughts, your dreams. Space is also an almost infinitely available place, an opportunity, possibilities. It is all that we wish for every person - client, neighbor, volunteer, employee - everyone. We want to give that space: a place to be yourself. With space you can develop yourself, however you want. Exactly what suits you.
