Citizens Who Care For The Elderly is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization with the mission of improving the quality of life for the elderly and their caregivers.
A female volunteer is needed to stay with a female client who has Alzheimer's for two hours a week to provide a break to her husband. Time is needed during the week - not weekends. Client doesn't speak much, but is very fit and may like going for walks or simply having someone to watch television with her.
