About this service
The Friendly Visiting program at Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities aims to reduce social isolation among seniors aged 65+ by offering companionship through activities like conversation, watching movies, playing board games, crafting, or listening to music. The program does not involve cooking, cleaning, or personal care services and does not take clients outside their homes. Due to volunteer shortages, the focus is on matching seniors living alone. Volunteers can connect in person or by phone, with wait times of up to 1 year for in-person services and 4-6 weeks for phone services. Eligibility requires being 65+, experiencing loneliness, and living within specified area boundaries.
