Since 1984, CAREGIVERS has provided thousands of older Ventura County residents with one-on-one personal help and friendship. We help homebound seniors in the cities of Ventura, Oxnard, Pt. Hueneme, Camarillo, Santa Paula, and Fillmore. Our caring volunteers have supported these seniors, helping them with many tasks they could no longer do themselves. One of our featured programs is the Phone Friend program. Phone friends make weekly calls to seniors. Often these seniors are homebound and living alone. These calls provide reassurance and joy in the midst of what might be a lonely week.
If you are called to this special service, we would love to hear from you.
