We recognize that older adults and caregivers are facing many hardships due to COVID-19. Being separated from family, experiencing the loss of loved ones, and changing health status can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness. There are people who care and there are ways to stay connected. We want to show you care through conversation and ways to stay connected to others. Each week, SARCOA can arrange a volunteer call to check on you or a loved one. At a minimum, our volunteers will conduct one call a week, but more calls can be made if requested. Each phone call provides reassurance by offering a listening ear and an encouraging word.
This is also a way to check on the safety of the individual and offer socialization. There are no income requirements, nor age or living status criteria for joining the program. There is no cost to join or participate. If you would like to be added or would like to add someone to our telephone reassurance registry, please submit the registration information that can be downloaded below.
