Volunteer Stories

Their stories speak of reminiscing with friends, residents and family members on gentle sunny evenings in our wonderful back patio and garden; singing along to sounds of well loved music; sharing jokes and little nuggets of wisdom with everyone who can stop and listen for a few moments. Our volunteers bring a wealth of happiness to everyone who resides at the Wexford and they help make this place a warm and congenial home for all who live here.
