Friendly Visitors Friendly Visitors

Friendly Visitors visit elders too frail to go out by themselves. Each volunteer or team of volunteers visits the older friend at least twice a month. You may help with paying bills, go to lunch or a movie, or just chat for an hour or so - whatever you and your senior decide. As a Friendly Visitor you provide companionship, conversation, and contact with the community - perhaps the only such contact your friend might have. You also help alert our staff to any changes in the elder's physical or emotional condition, so that professional follow-up can be provided as needed. Volunteer opportunities for friendly visitors are available at our Rockville and Fairfax locations.

To learn more about becoming a friendly visitor, please call 301-816-2639 or send an email inquiry.
