Help Boston seniors access the healthcare they need.

FriendshipWorks is looking for Medical Escort volunteers to accompany isolated seniors to and from their doctor appointments, offering an arm to lean on and assistance with navigating the hospital. Many seniors have trouble getting to their appointments or are nervous going alone - YOU can be the answer to this problem!

This is a flexible opportunity and we need volunteers with and without cars. We are looking for volunteers with daytime availability as most medical appointments are during the day and on week days.

About FriendshipWorks

Location:

105 Chauncy St, Suite 801, Boston, MA 02111, US

Mission Statement

FriendshipWorks, formerly MATCH-UP Interfaith Volunteers, recruits and trains caring individuals to assist elders living in the Boston area. Our mission is to decrease the isolation that too often comes with age and disability, to promote well being, and to enhance the quality of life of elders. We have seen firsthand the difference ongoing companionship and support can make both for our care recipients and our volunteers.

Description

FriendshipWorks offers a variety of support services to elders in the Boston area. We make friendship matches between volunteers and elders. Volunteers often provide companionship, read aloud, take walks, or assist someone with errands. In addition to ongoing companionship, FriendshipWorks provides one-time assistance such as volunteer escorts to and from medical appointments and respite for family caregivers.
