Eldercare Corps Your few hours can make a difference in someone's life. Donna Uhler,
Coordinator Many things have changed for seniors over the years, but the desire to be as independent as possible and remain at home is vital for many. RSVP’s Eldercare program, developed in 1991 in response to a request from Montgomery County’s Office on Aging & Adult Services, provides volunteers who assist elders with shopping, errands, light home repairs, monthly bookkeeping, phone reassurance and on occasion, transportation, while providing much needed companionship. Eldercare’s new program, Help on Call, enables volunteers to offer short term, or even one-time assistance, such as providing transportation to an appointment. All volunteers can determine which assignment works best with their schedules. These services play an integral role in helping many elderly remain in their own homes for as long as possible. |
