Friendly Visiting
Posted by
Lambton Elderly Outreach on April 29th, 2021
Description
Pay a friendly visit to a client in his or her home, or by phone. This service is mainly geared to isolated clients.
REWARDS!
Make new friends!
Be there to talk, listen, participate in activities, and provide companionship to someone in your community who may not be able to get out to socialize.
Volunteers provide friendly visits to seniors or disabled adults who may be isolated and/or who are lonely. Volunteers are matched based on interest, availability and location.
The volunteer and client will set up their own schedule for visit days and times. The volunteer is required to report any client concerns to the program coordinator.
