Our agency Volunteer Action for Aging is looking for two wonderful female volunteers in the Redondo Beach area. We have a vibrant Friendly Visitor program that matches isolated, lonely and often homebound seniors with volunteers that have a giving heart.
The two seniors who have requested a Friendly Visitor have special needs. One woman has some communication problems due to a stroke and the other woman is homebound and very isolated. They both would benefit from a patient and kindhearted volunteer to visit one hour per week. They live in nice homes in the Redondo Beach area.
No personal, household or medical care is needed. Just a friendly visitor who will listen to their stories, share mutual interests, play cards or go for short walks.
We are looking for volunteers that want to make a difference in someone's life. We guarantee that this experience will make a positive and lasting difference in your life. Celebrate companionship and caring through this opportunity.
Complete an application on scan.samaritan.com or call Teri at 562-637-7175 or email thershberg@scanhealthplan.com You'll be grateful you stepped up to this special opportunity.
