The Friendly Visitor Program was established early in 2006 to help isolated and vulnerable seniors in the community establish a supportive connection to enhance the quality of their lives through friendly visits and introduction to other community supports.  Friendly visitors are seniors, and others, who are orientated in providing social and emotional support and leadership as well as knowing the existing programs and services available to more disadvantaged and vulnerable seniors in the community.  The program fosters longer term, healthy independence of seniors.
