About this service
Through this program, volunteers make regular telephone calls to homebound seniors (60 years of age or older) and disabled persons to check on their well-being and give people an opportunity to socialize. Relationships grow and can last for years . TAP's main purpose is to alleviate some of the concerns facing those who live alone, and help them to remain independent. All new clients must undergo a telephone assesment prior to receiving services in the home (on some occasions a home visit may be required).
Program Benefits:
- Opportunity to socialize by telephone with someone who cares
- Allows individuals to keep in contact with their community
- Helps decrease the feelings of loneliness and isolation
Who can use it?
