How it works

We match each senior 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.   


We screen and supervise all volunteers, document all calls, and provide full transparency for staff and families. 


HIPAA compliant.
