Do you know an isolated senior?
Any senior in need who may benefit from this program will be provided a volunteer counselor, regardless of income.
We offer weekly visits to your home or local Senior Center.
Anyone can make a referral for themselves, a friend, a neighbor or family member.
Volunteer counselors are trained to listen to their clients and help them find their own solutions.
This program provides free weekly in-home visits for seniors 55 years or older who are isolated or confined at home and
may need comfort, support or stimulation.
We provide a no-cost opportunity to converse with a friendly person—someone who can listen without judging or directing.
The visits give seniors something to look forward to each week and increases their independence.
