Stay Connected with a Friendly Voice or Visit
Loneliness and isolation can impact health—but meaningful connection can change lives. Our Friendly Visitor and Friendly Caller programs match Alexandria seniors with trained volunteers for regular social interaction, either by phone or in person.
- Friendly Visitor: Weekly in-home visits from a matched volunteer, based on shared interests and personality.
- Friendly Caller: Ongoing phone calls tailored to the senior’s schedule, from 2-minute check-ins to 20-minute conversations.
Both programs are free, flexible, and designed to meet seniors where they are. If you would like to volunteer and make a difference in a senior’s life or you know someone who would benefit from the Friendly Visitor or Caller Program, contact Tanya Edwards at (703) 836-4414, ext. 120 or e-mail friendlyvisitor@seniorservicesalex.org.
