Escort/Medical Escort

Description: Very flexible - Choose how often, where, and when to volunteer. A typical trip is two to four hours. This program matches frail seniors with a volunteer who will drive or accompany them to medical appointments. Volunteers can use their cars or accompany elders in a taxi or other community transportation. Training, additional liability insurance, and stipend provided.

Skills: Sensitivity to elders, reliability, good communication abilities. Patience with waiting for arranged transportation and dealing with anxious or frail elders is a must!
