Project Good Morning helps residents who may not have regular contact with friends, family, and/or neighbors. The project provides a means by which residents can have daily contact with their police department to make sure they are okay.
Friendly Visits: Volunteer visitors are trained to address the special needs of those who are lonely or alone. Visits are usually conducted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and range from 1-3 hours in length. Telephone Reassurance Calls: volunteers call clients who have expressed a desire to receive daily or weekly reassurance phone calls. CareGivers often has clients call one another for this task, thus helping people form "telephone friendships".
