With trained volunteers from our community, we support older adults and adults with disabilities who live independently with non-medical services.
Serving residents of Wake County, NC, all of our services are provided at no charge.
Our Programs
“I always laugh with my volunteer. I laugh the whole conversation with my volunteer. I can’t say that I laugh when I talk to my children.”
Carol, Care Receiver since 2015
Caregiver Support
Volunteers provide respite to family caregivers taking care of a loved one with a chronic illness or medical condition round-the-clock so they can get a much needed break. Our Caregiver Support Manager provides one-on-one support to family caregivers to connect them with available resources and provide reassurance through challenges.
In-Home Connections
For older adults living alone without a supportive network, our volunteers provide companionship in the form of friendly visits in the home, telephone check-ins, light help around the house, and grocery shopping for those who cannot leave their home and have no one else to shop for them.
Transportation
Volunteer drivers provide escorted roundtrip rides for older adults and adults with disabilities to medical and dental appointments or to the grocery store or pharmacy.
Please Note: We are not a home care company. We do not provide assistance with personal care services like toileting, dressing, bathing, meal preparation, and hands-on help with movement.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
The Center is dedicated to meeting the needs of seniors, adults with disabilities and their family caregivers in Wake County through a “neighbor helping neighbor” approach to caregiving.
