Help Older Adults THRIVE not just SURVIVE! Become a Friendly Visitor!

Save to Favorites

Being a FRIENDLY VISITOR is FUN and helps SUPPORT & LIFT the SPIRITS of older adults living in Dallas County (Texas) long-term care homes.

Note: we do not participate in court-appointed community service.

Friendly Visitors are compassionate individuals and groups who engage in fun and meaningful activities with residents living in Dallas County long-term care facilities to build social connections and to enrich their lives. The Senior Source provides opportunities for in-person and remote volunteer engagement. You can make a difference as a Friendly Visitor!
