Assistance for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities in Daily Life (Stephanus Stiftung, Berlin)
The volunteer will work in the Margarete-Steiff-Haus, a residential facility for adults with disabilities in Berlin. 16 adults with intellectual disabilities live there, normally their entire life. In the sense of inclusion, the volunteer supports the residents of a residential group in everyday life to enable them to live as normal as possible and to participate in society in a variety of ways: The 8 residents live as independently as possible and take care of themselves, everyone has his / her own room. The residents should be accompanied and supported in this process and their everyday life, especially in situations in which they cannot cope independently. Here it would be nice if the volunteer would support the care staff. This includes leisure activities, household chores such as assistance with eating, shopping, and cooking, help with everyday activities such as getting up, getting dressed and undressing, evening activities, etc.
