Community of Hope Outreach: Connecting with Seniors Project


Compassionate Community Care is starting a new calling service.

Regular check-ins by phone or Zoom with seniors who may not be able to receive an in-person visitor.

The calling service is for persons aged 55+ who may be socially or physically isolated and are looking for support, or a friendly person to talk to. We are looking for volunteers to make calls and seniors to receive them! Contact us if you are interested.

Calls are available in English and French. Volunteers who are proficient in French are needed.

For more information about the Compassionate Community Care calling service (Information Link).

This project is funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP), which provides funding for projects that make a difference in the lives of seniors in their communities.

Please extend the New Horizons Program to include personal visits and companion care for disabled seniors who cannot use the phone.

Yes, that would be a good idea. Especially if they can sign or use the deafblind manual
