Our Connections Program links older adults with a trained volunteer for regular, friendly phone calls up to three times a week to check-in, listen and chat. Senior clients can schedule at a time that is convenient for their schedule. In addition to being a friendly touchpoint, our trained volunteers can also connect senior clients to our Health & Social Services Team for assistance with additional resources as needs may arise.
