Our Barrington Village Friendly Visits/Calls program is one way we address the loneliness and isolation some seniors experience. Members desiring companionship spend time with partner volunteers, often becoming good friends.
Typically we pair 1-2 volunteers with a Friendly Visits/Calls Service member, providing dedicated support at least monthly, often weekly.
Friendly Visits/Calls Service support may involve regular check-in phone calls, home visits, walks, outings, or an activity together such as gardening, organizing paperwork, cooking, painting or drawing, etc.
We support our members and volunteers with professional geriatric care guidance when needed.
