The gift of your friendship can mean so much for those on the journey of aging or serious illness. Companion volunteers provide on-going friendly visits, phone check-ins, caregiver respite, or compassionate presence at end-of-life. Care Partners will work within your availability and interests, and provide you with training in safety, elder awareness, communication and more.
Care Partners’ Fall Companion Volunteer Training is offered in a two-session format: Wednesday, October 30 from 4:30 – 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 2 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Refreshments provided at both sessions and lunch provided on Saturday.
Call 387-3788 or go online to www.carepartnersofcookcounty.org to register.
