JFS Helping Hands matches trained volunteers for one-on-one visits with seniors in their homes or by telephone. Helping Hands Music and Art Programs offer one-on-one visits with a trained facilitator to those living with dementia to promote creativity and well-being.
JFS's Helping Hands program offers companionship and friendship for isolated seniors and people with disabilities. By matching a volunteer with a Helping Hands client, JFS volunteers provide in person visits or regular telephone calls, through which a baseline of friendship, care and concern is maintained. Visits are tailored to the older adult’s interests and may include activities such as discussing current events, playing cards, reading a book or the newspaper, or listening to music together. All volunteers are trained and undergo a background check.
