Volunteering with older adults gives you the opportunity to get fullfillment by giving to others and forming special friendships. You can help alleviate the loneliness that many older adults face and improve the quality of their lives. At the same time, the connection you establish will be so rewarding. Older adults have a lot to share about their lives: their accomplishments, their memories, their wisdom, the hardships they have faced, and the history they have witnessed. At accentCare we will match you with an individual you will always remember. We serve all of Rhode Island.
