Regular contact through the Social & Safety Program not only offers an opportunity to discuss community news and events but also serves as a safety check for clients. Clients schedule appointments with the Echo Centre at their convenience, and volunteers are promptly notified. This service provides seniors who may be lonely or homebound with a friendly voice for conversation or companionship, at no cost. Clients are requested to notify the volunteer or office in advance if they will be unavailable during their scheduled Social & Safety call.
