Mission Statement
The Good N.E.W.S. Living At Home/Block Nurse Program is a community-based system that enriches the quality of life of seniors in the Azle and surrounding areas by providing essential social support services. This enables them to stay in their homes and avoid premature entry into nursing homes.
Description
Local citizens who recognized the need for a senior care program in their community founded the volunteer-driven Good N.E.W.S. LAH/BNP in 1997. The Good N.E.W.S. program provides quality-of-life services to our older neighbors and to the volunteers who serve. The program staff organizes and manages thousands of volunteer hours, providing social support services such as telephone calls, friendly visits, shopping assistance, transportation, minor home repair, yard work, chore services, advocacy, and referrals.
