Sit down with yellow pages and circle elder nursing homes volunteer to be an exxtra pair of hands write to matron personally. Under 18 you will not be permitted to "touch" residents but can read books newspapers ,write letters help in physio sessions you will prob need a crb as some residents will have neuro probs as well as physical probs . I had to provide refs from school and school gave indemnity ins in case I ran amok Co paid for crb it was great ! Nurse were really nice no one had ever asked to we with them before upshot offered job when 18 worked there 'til secured job as hcsw job in hosp ,didn't need full crb so hosp was pleased. Moral write personally and write thankyou letter afterwards or am I teaching granny to suck eggs!
