The ElderSource Caring Connections Telephone Reassurance Program provides friendly telephone calls from trained volunteers to older adults who are living alone and/or are homebound. The goals of the program are to reduce isolation, loneliness, depression, anxiety and cognitive decline often faced by homebound seniors.
Regular phone calls from volunteers help seniors stay connected to their community and engage in meaningful relationships. Keeping seniors socially engaged also improves their overall quality of life physically, emotionally, and mentally.
