Service Details
Description:

Caring Friendly Visiting volunteers meet with socially-isolated older adults for companionship and conversation. They may also take the client out for coffee, walks, or help with a few errands on occasion. Visits usually happen once a week for 1-2 hours. Matches are based on shared interests to ensure a positive and meaningful experience for both the client and volunteer. We have an excellent track record – many of our clients and volunteers have been matched for years!
