Volunteer Programs and Services

Our trained and highly dedicated volunteers assist us in offering innovative programs and services geared towards caregivers and individuals in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias (ADRD). 

Volunteer Companion Program

The Volunteer Companion Program is a free, in-home respite support program that utilizes trained volunteers to offer relief for the caregiver and social stimulation and companionship for persons with dementia. Volunteers offer approximately two hours of friendly visiting each week, on an ongoing basis.  This program is available to persons who are in the early to mid stages of ADRD.  To view poster, click here.
