As many seniors are isolated due to COVID-19 Riseboro Community Partnership aims to create a friendship between seniors and their friendly visitor. Finding your own personal friendly senior is our goal. We offer virtual phone calls and in person visits. We encourage activities such as coloring, crossword puzzles, watching movies, or just sitting and talking about day-to-day activities and whatever is on your mind.
