Hello SDN,
I am once again asking for your support. I have found volunteer experiences that can supplement my clinical experience in an area I like - helping the elderly. I have found some in hospice, and in assisted living (specifically for memory care). I know that hospice care usually counts as clinical experience, but what about the assisted living situation? I would just be talking to them and keeping them company, and helping them out a little bit. I would more just listen to them and keep them entertained.
Would both the assisted living and hospice volunteering count as clinical experience? Or just the Hospice volunteering (where I would do the almost same thing, except I would do more catering to the idea that these are their last moments, and generally helping out around the facility more). I feel like they are similar in many ways but classification gets murky. Thank you all.
