Hi there, as my parents age, I'm wondering if there's a service that will simply call them to check in on them, ask them about their day, etc.
Of course, I call them as often as I can, but getting some other people to check in would be nice as well.
Do you know if such a service exists? I'm having trouble finding one.
I know there is always a need for in-person volunteers (Meals on Wheels delivery), but I am only interested in doing telephone (or virtual) volunteering.
You can contact your local Senior Services or Area Agency on Aging to see if such a program is available in your area.
This whole service is new to me. If you call I would love to see an update from you as to whether they were helpful at all or not.
Does anyone have a URL for this local AARP site with help (the first one above)?
Thanks.
