How it works

Each senior matched 1:1 with their own trained volunteer phone buddy for ongoing personal connection over many months of weekly conversations.


Our role is neutral, warm, and friendly. We don't diagnose physical or psychological issues. And we don't take a stand on political or religious topics.   


All volunteers screened and supervised. All calls documented. Full transparency for staff and families.
