Project REACH

 

Project REACH (Ready to Extend a Caring Hand) provides trained volunteers who provide in-person, one-on-one support and assistance to seniors aged 60 years and over as well as family caregivers.  Volunteers help individuals access and navigate resources, services and programs to meet their needs.  This is a short-term intervention service with the goal of connecting people to the resources they need.

• Some examples of how this program can help include:

  • Making home visits to assess the needs of the individual
  • Provide information and referral to the appropriate service
  • Assist by making necessary telephone calls for services as needed
  • Help to complete forms for services
  • Act as an advocate in accessing services and solving problems
  • Offer emotional support
  • Follow-up to ensure you have been connected to the necessary services
