Do you know a senior who would enjoy friendly company or a daily phone call? Our caring volunteers provide in-person visits or telephone reassurance calls to homebound seniors, helping them feel less isolated and socially connected.
During visits, activities may include:
Short walks
Reading together
Discussing current events
Playing cards or other simple activities
This program is free and available to seniors within our service area.
