NewBridge Friendly Visitations

Our Friendly Visitor Program goal is to prevent and alleviate the physical and mental health risks linked to social isolation. This program benefits older adults by addressing loneliness and isolation often experienced by individuals who have little to no family members or support system.

For volunteers, friendly visiting offers the opportunity to cultivate a lasting friendship, to learn from a senior’s life experiences, and to benefit from the personal satisfaction derived from community service.

For the senior, friendly visiting provides a sense of connection to the outside world, something to look forward to, and a sense of contributing to society through sharing their wisdom, knowledge, talents and stories with you.

Lots of these seniors need help around their homes as well. If you are willing to vacuum a floor or scrub a counter for a senior, our Home Chore program is essentially friendly visiting with the addition of helping with tasks around the house.
