In Orange County, many older adults and adults with disabilities are choosing to age in place in the comfort of their own homes and enjoy their independence. Many older adults can’t drive and often skip doctor’s appointments and have difficulty getting their groceries. Providing a ride to a medical appointment can foster better physical and mental health for them. The Friendly Visitor Program trains and matches volunteers with neighbors to help them continue to live independently. Just 2 hours a week can make a significant impact. Will you volunteer and make a difference in a neighbor’s life?
