Caring is not just for Valentine's Day
A very energetic and interesting senior who lives in a nice apartment in Beverly Hills would enjoy visiting with a volunteer on the weekends. Just 1 hour on the weekend is what she requests.
Make a real and lasting difference in someone's life. Just a 1 hour visit per week. Play a card game, a board game, take a short walk, listen to stories, tell stories, share your culture, your food, your hobbies. A simple task with a big impact for a senior who gives to others and would like a bit of company on the weekend.
Our agency is Volunteer Action for Aging, a Community Service division of SCAN Health Plan. We coordinate a Friendly Visitor program to visit seniors in their home.
If you have questions please call or email Teri at thershberg@scanhealthplan.com 562-637-7175
This is a Valentine Heart that will give all year long!
