The Friendly Visitor Program matches a senior with a volunteer friend who can visit at the senior’s home regularly. A senior and their volunteer may have or develop a shared interest such as playing board games, knitting or discussing sports. The program allows for relationships to grow and individual interests to be expressed.
Tel-A-Friend matches a senior with a volunteer who can call regularly. Contact may be just a short check up call to determine that the senior is at home and well or the calls could be more conversational and lengthy.
Both of these programs offer reassurance to the senior and their family members that someone outside the home will know about the senior’s needs. If a senior is not home when their volunteer makes a pre-arranged call or visit, Senior Adult Services will get in touch with their emergency contact to ensure that there is no emergency.
There is no cost for either of the visitation services. If you or someone you know is interested in either of the Visitation Programs, please call 972-242-4464 or click here for contact information.
Senior Adult Services provides visitation services to seniors living in Addison, Carrollton, Coppell and Farmers Branch.
