Visiting elderly patient in a private home for companionship and caregiver relief. Patient is a little confused and sleeps during the day time, believing it is out of boredom. Patient does get tired easily, so 30 minutes to an hour visit once a week would be good.

Must be able to drive your self to assigned location, which is different from above, but zip code is accurate.

We offer patients a volunteer that can read to patients, visit, organize photos, talk about life review, make a puzzle, play a game, watch TV with them, many possibilities are there to be explored.

We provide a PPE kit for you to take with you including some masks and gloves. The patient, family and yourself should feel safe at all times.
