Adult Caregiver Respite Program
Free respite service for those who care fulltime for an adult 25 years or older in their home. Caregivers can take time for themselves to do what they want to do! 2-4 hours a week, I-weekly or monthly. Selfcare is a necessity for those who care for others!
Respite volunteers offer quality
companionship to care recipients; no personal care involved.
Background checks on volunteers before placement in home.

Phone a Friend Program
Calls are made to seniors who may be homebound, living alone, or disabled. Other older adults may have health concerns and want someone to check in on them. Many seniors do not have friends or relatives living in their area. They miss out on regular conversations that many of us might take for granted. Lacking frequent contact with others can lead to deeper issues such as loneliness, depression, and malnutrition.
Volunteers provide friendly phone calls and check-ins to socially isolated older adults or those in danger of isolation. Simple phone calls and warm conversations can mean the world to seniors who do not get regular contact with others.
