" I want to thank you so very much for
the Friendly Vistor you sent me.
She is exactly the right match for
me!
This is a wonderful program and I would
recommend it
to any senior who is experiencing some
loneliness."
-Participant in the Friendly Vistor Program
The Tompkins County Office for the Aging
matches homebound seniors with volunteers of all ages who regularly visit,
providing support and companionship. The Office for the Aging is willing
to provide matches based upon mutual interests, geographical area or level
of need. The Friendly Visitor Program facilitates wonderful social interaction
between seniors and other members of the community, and helps to thwart
the isolation that so many often face. For more information about the Friendly
Visitor Program, or to participate, please contact the Office for the Aging.
