Wellness Calls for Seniors

A program aimed at making sure seniors in the area are okay during this health crisis says it needs people to sign up!

The Seniors Helping Seniors organization has started up a program to match seniors with seniors from its staff to do daily wellness check calls.

The problem is they are have a tough time getting people to sign up for help.

Program organizer, Amy McDermott says she has too many volunteers and needs more folks who need help.

Now she’s making a public plea.

“People shouldn’t be shy about asking for a call. they shouldn’t be shy about asking for help. We’re here to call them. They are going to be safe with us. The call will come to me as the owner of the company and I will take down an info sheet,” says McDermott.

McDermott says from that information she gathers on the intake interview, she will match that senior with a senior from her staff.

She says each person will call the people who sign up and check in everyday.

She’s hoping these phone calls will lead to real friendships.
