Friendly Visiting - works with seniors 60+ and older who are lonely, depressed and isolated who could benefit from a weekly social in-home visit along with weekly phone calls are matched with a screened volunteer 18+ and older upon simialr common interests.
Once you and your senior are matched, you both decide on days and times for visits.
To become a Friendly Visitor:
- 18+ years and older
- Are you Friendly, Dependable and Compassionate
- Can you initiate a visit once a week
- Able to complete our screening and training process
There are many ways you can provide a positive interaction that would benefit a senior.
Each visit you make does change a senior's life for the better. I see first hand the difference.
