    Description

    Friendly Visiting Program

    Is where a screened volunteer 18+ and older is matched with a senior 60+ and older to bond with friendship and socialize. Each match between a senior participant and volunteer is do by asking the right questions within the scope of the program. Once matched, I ask that the volunteer call the senior at least 3-4 times to get to know each other. Once they are in contact and building a foundation, they will want to meet in person. This is where I meet with you both and talk about the program, offer a calendar of events, our Senior Voice Newspaper and let you both schedule your own days and times for each weekly in home visit.
