Connection Through Friendly Calls
Since 1996, Eskaton’s Telephone Reassurance Program has facilitated thousands of friendships between volunteers and older adults. Trained volunteers provide friendly phone calls 365 days a year at no cost to the program participant. These calls increase a sense of belonging and connectedness for both volunteer and participant.
