During this dire time of need during the COVID-19 pandemic, our senior citizens are the most vulnerable. Volunteer with WPV CARES to offer friendly in-person visits (following all public health guidelines) to help them stay connected, provide social support, and a sense of companionship during this time of increased social isolation and distancing. All in-person friendly visits will follow the most current public health guidelines and include precautions such as; wearing a mask, social distancing, meeting outside, and limiting the length of the visit. Volunteers will learn about the essential needs of the older adult and work with other volunteers to help arrange meal delivery, groceries, medications, and other care packages. Most important, make a new friend and provide real, in-person socialization to those that have potentially been isolated for some time.
Our seniors deserve to stay in their homes and engaged in the communities they love. Westside Pacific Villages is making that happen. WPV is not a retirement facility or caregiving agency. We are a non-profit organization coordinating a network of local volunteers to assist our members with everyday life.
