Friendly Visitor

This Program works to combat the loneliness and social isolation of our homebound seniors and disabled neighbors. These connections provide our clients with much-needed companionship. Seniors receive valuable social interactions through one or more of the following services: Friendly Visits, Friendly Calls, and Friendly Mail.

Through Friendly Visits, seniors engage in a variety of positive and enriching in-person social activities like playing board or card games, reading their favorite books, watching a good movie, or just having great conversations. Seniors can also receive weekly calls and/or letters or cards from our trained and qualified volunteers. A senior can receive one or all three services. No matter what the client decides, these services are a great way to brighten their day and reduce the loneliness they experience!

HOW DOES COMFY CASAS HELP OUR SENIORS?

We provide minor home repairs and various home appliances to low-income seniors and disabled adults. These essential visits enable us to identify  home safety needs.  

One of the easiest things we can do is make sure the temperature in our clients' homes is seasonally appropriate. So that means providing ACs and heaters to ensure our clients stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Emergency Meals

We provide meal packages to seniors, older adults, and disabled homebound neighbors. These packages address the immediate relief of hunger & potential disruptions to regular meal delivery, such as weather. We supply meals to new clients who are in need of an immediate food source. Emergency meals are also delivered quarterly to all meal recipients in anticipation of inclement weather.
