CAREGIVERS: Volunteers Assisting The Elderly

WE ARE a private nonprofit 501(c) 3 agency created in 1984. Our services are provided free of charge by volunteers who live in the communities served.

The purpose of CAREGIVERS is to:
1. Assist homebound elders to allow them to remain independent for as long as possible.
2. Provide services that make it possible for seniors to remain in the comfort and security of their own homes.
3. Prevent the premature placement of frail elders into board and care facilities.
4. Improve the overall quality of life for frail, homebound seniors.

Our Mission

Our vision is "Dignity for Life"

CAREGIVERS mission is to promote the health, well-being, dignity, and independence of frail, homebound elders through one-on-one relationships with trusted volunteers.

CAREGIVERS provides non-medical, in-home support services and transportation for homebound, frail elders, preventing their premature placement into board and care facilities and making it possible for them to continue to live in the comfort and security of their own homes.

CAREGIVERS makes every effort to "match" a carefully screened and trained volunteer to a frail, homebound elder who needs basic assistance and companionship, in order to foster a long term, one-on-one relationship between them.
