A Volunteer Program that Provides Rides to Seniors for Medical Appointments and Shopping
Neighbors Helping Neighbors To Remain Healthy and Independent
When you call the first time a volunteer will complete an application with you. They will ask a few questions related to your health and accessibility issues, the best way to reach you, an emergency contact, and other important information. This will be kept in a secure file so that the next time you call they will be able to help you right away.
Our office volunteer will find a compatible volunteer driver who can give you a ride.
Please call 7 to 10 days before your medical appointment or shopping trip.

Managing Grief Around the Holidays - A Hospice bereavement support social worker will tailor this talk to suit the audience: adult, teen, child, or facility staff.
Understanding Grief - There is no one size fits all when it comes to grieving the loss of a loved one. This talk focuses on the different ways in which people cope with and heal from loss.
Spirituality in Caregiving and at the End of Life - Whether you practice a formal religion or not, this talk will explore ways to find your own spiritual support and strength.
