The Friendly Visitor Program provides friendship and companionship to homebound and socially isolated Older and disabled Adults. Each friendship is unique and Volunteers become an important link to the outside world. The program is also designed to provide caregivers with a brief break, while also providing companionship and compassionate support. Because of the development of this special friendship, it is necessary to have volunteers who are full time residents to ensure continuity of service for the client.
Volunteers meet with their new Friend, weekly for approximately 1-3 hours, at a mutually convenient time. Visits can be centered on a shared hobby or interest. It can also include chatting, reading and playing games etc... Volunteers are also able to accompany their new Friend to a social outing (i.e. a walk, visit a park, visit a mall etc....).
Opportunities available in Sarasota and Venice.
