Greenwood Care
Fridays, 3:30-5
[meet at Norris couches]

Greenwood Care is a long-term residential psychiatric care facility for adults located in Evanston. Providing 24-hour nursing care, counseling, and social activities, Greenwood Care aims to give its residents greater freedom within the realm of their mental illness. OASIS volunteers assist in the social activities, coming to chat and play card games with the residents in the common areas. This informal socializing creates many positive effects: Many residents eagerly anticipate the arrival of the volunteers each week, and some volunteers have developed friendships with the residents, who they see or with whom they communicate outside of the OASIS outings.
