Glynis makes Fridays even sweeter at Baptistcare Graceford Residential Aged Care in Byford

18 August 2019

News | Aged Care Homes

Is there anything better than hearing the ice cream truck driving up your street? Thanks to our dedicated volunteer Glynis Van Leeuwen, we’re able to replicate this experience for our residents living at Baptistcare Graceford Residential Aged Care in Byford.

Every Friday afternoon, Glynis takes her ice cream cart for a spin, ringing the bell and personally delivering ice cream cones to our residents and their visitors.

Glynis says that volunteering at Baptistcare Graceford Residential Care has been a fulfilling experience for her.

“I receive far more from the beautiful residents than I give. It is truly rewarding and a wonderful way to start my weekend. Volunteering is the best,” she said.
