Meet Kurt and Dave
Kurt lives at home with his wife, Kathryn, in Loveland. He has memory difficulties due to his dementia diagnosis. Dave is a volunteer in VOA’s Caring Companion program. He and Kurt meet up once a week for a couple of hours to visit, take the dog for a walk, work out at the nearby gym, or have lunch together. This gives Kathryn a break from caregiving and gives Kurt a friend to visit with. "Dave has been a bright spot in our week for more than a year now - my husband can no longer remember his name but always has a smile when he sees him arrive. It has allowed me to have lunch with a group of friends going through the same issues as me. Many thanks for this great program!"
Many Loveland families would love a visitor for an older loved one. Volunteer with our Caring Companion Program, lend an ear and share your interests for 2 hours a week! Volunteers DO provide much needed socialization and friendship, and caregiver respite. They DO NOT provide personal care, meal preparation, transportation ,etc.
