Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
Volunteers provide transportation for Neighbors to and from doctor's appointments such as dialysis, cancer treatment, other medical or dental appointment, or physical/ occupational therapy. Neighbors must call at least ten (10) days in advance to provide the date, time, and location of their appointment. If needed, Neighbors who require a handicap-accessible vehicle will be transported in one of Foothills Caring Corps' vans.
Recreational Van Transportation Program
Group transportation is provided to social outings, exercise classes, lunch, shopping, and community events. Neighbors are picked up from their homes, transported to the event, then dropped back off at home after the conclusion of the event. Neighbors must be able to enter and exit a vehicle with little to no assistance.
Grocery Shopping Assistance
Volunteers assist with or provide grocery shopping for Neighbors. If a Neighbor is mobile and wishes to participate in the shopping excursion, the Volunteer will assist with transportation to and from the grocery store. Alternatively, a Neighbor can provide a shopping list to a Volunteer who will do their shopping on their behalf and drop groceries off at a Neighbor's home.
Friendly Visiting & Phoning
Volunteers spend consistent and ongoing quality time building a friendship with a Neighbor. Volunteer visits may include chatting, playing games, hobbies, or traveling to social outings for coffee or lunch. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we now offer friendly phoning to check in on our Neighbors and ensure that they are okay.
Friendly Pet Visiting
Volunteers with pets that are certified with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs program share a sense of healing, security, and unconditional love with a Neighbor. Pet visits last up to one hour in a Neighbor's home.
Caregiver Relief
Volunteer spends quality time with a Neighbor, allowing their primary caregiver to take a break or run errands. Visits may include chatting, playing games, or other hobbies.
Minor Home Repairs
Volunteer handyperson aids with minor home repairs such as changing lightbulbs, air filters and or smoke alarms. Neighbor is responsible for purchasing parts or supplies needed.
Basic Technology Help
Limited service for Neighbors with minor knowledge or experience with electronic devices and or the internet. Volunteer may assist with creating an email account, placing online shopping orders, or adding events to an online calendar with reminders. Minor troubleshooting for computers, phones, televisions, and tablet devices may be available. Volunteer may not assist with any sensitive information, including but not limited to account information, passwords, finances, or health history.
