The Power of Communication
Our Telephone Reassurance Program pairs home bound older adults, known as Clients, with Volunteers. These participants need contact due to social isolation and/or vulnerabilities associated with physical limitations.
Volunteers make telephone contact in accordance with an established schedule agreed upon by the participant and/or their caregiver, help provide safety checks, medication reminders and have caring conversations. Volunteers are informed of community resources that may be helpful to the participant and may make referrals with the participant/caregiver’s consent when http://www.buyambienmed.com/buy-ambien-online/ needs and/or concerns are made known.
