About Aging At Home

Location:

Friendship Circle Senior Center, 1515 Lansdowne Avenue, Darby, PA 19023, US

Mission Statement

Aging at Home is a membership-based program in South-east Delaware County, PA. It allows individuals 60 years and older to maintain independent lifestyles in their homes.

Description

Aging at Home welcomes volunteers who assist seniors by providing basic services. Volunteers are needed as:

a. Volunteer drivers: When an Aging at Home member needs to be driven anywhere within Delaware County they can request a ride. The ride destination can be a doctor’s office or a shopping center. As a volunteer driver, you have a flexible schedule, accepting rides when you are available.

When an Aging at Home staffer calls a prospective driver, the driver is provided with all the information needed: member’s address, destination, time frame, and can decide whether to accept the assignment. Drivers are free to drive where and when they wish, and are covered by additional liability insurance during volunteer drives.

b. Volunteer Handymen: . A Member may no longer be able to do chores like lightbulb changing, small repair jobs, or winter window insulation. Handyman Volunteers determine if the job described is something they can undertake.

c, Shopping Coaches:

Members call with shopping lists. Shopping Coaches assure that the orders are filled and delivered for free by Delco Transportation services the same day.
