Volunteer Caring Connections for Seniors

Our dedicated and experienced volunteers provide individual support for seniors living with chronic or terminal illness, via phone or online meeting platform. Contact us for individual support.

Caregivers Connect Programs

We know caring for an aging family member or friend requires time, commitment, and compassion.  We also know caregiving can be stressful.  We provide free support, connections, resources, and referrals for family and friends caring for older adults who live at home.  Drop in for conversation and workshops at three different community partner locations.
