Many elderly people who still live at home may not have friends or family that visit regularly. Socialization is important to help them maintain independence and avoid early institutionalization. Volunteers visit with an older adult person in their home for two hours, once a week. They provide companionship and do activities with their new friend!
This opportunity is part of the Citizens Who Care programs of Yolo Hospice/YoloCares.
