At Eskaton, individuals from all walks of life share their time and talents to enrich the lives of others. Whether working directly with seniors or in an office setting, volunteers support Eskaton in its mission to enhance the quality of life of seniors through innovative health, housing and social services.
Daily Phone Calls
TLC’s volunteers place calls seven days a week, year around, to hundreds of older adults who live alone and want to remain in their own homes. Calls can be made from the TLC office or from the comfort of your own home. These calls are not just to check on their well-being, but also to socialize. This daily contact can help eliminate the worries of seniors living alone who don’t have regular contact with someone who knows them and their daily routine. Volunteer days and hours are flexible.
Home Visits
TLC home visiting volunteers provide companionship to seniors who live alone. Our social services staff matches visitors to seniors by common interests and geographic area. The most important aspect of this program is the warmth and companionship it fosters between an older adult and the volunteer. It may even encourage a senior to seek other social opportunities. We request 2-3 visits per month.
Special Projects
Administrative needs and special project opportunities are needed throughout the year. Schedules are flexible.
Eskaton Communities
Volunteer opportunities within Eskaton communities, based on need. Examples are assisting with activities and visiting seniors. To be considered for a volunteer assignment, at least four days advance notice is required.
