Have you ever had an opportunity to visit with women who have lived to be over 100 years old??!!
In their lifetime these women have experienced more changes than most of us could ever imagine. What a fascinating opportunity for you to get to know them and for these seniors to get to know about you. People who live a long life are usually curious, friendly people who have seen many changes in the wide world and in their personal worlds.
Each of these women live in their own nice homes in Torrance and Redondo Beach. The have caregivers but find themselves lacking in good conversation during the day. Sometimes weekdays and weekends can be lonely when there is no one to visit with.
We are looking for two wonderful volunteers who have just 1 hour per week available to visit either of these women. STEP UP, GRAB this amazing opportunity to meet seniors that know what life is like for over 100 years.
Please go onto our website scan.samaritan.com follow the prompts for becoming a volunteer and complete the application. If you have questions about this program please contact Teri at 562-637-7175 thershberg@scanhealthplan.com
