Building A Community Over The Phone
Family Eldercare has launched a new program for older adults - Lifetime Connections Without Walls. You can join us from the comfort of your home, using your own telephone. We bring everyone together using a conference call bridge. We offer fun games such as Bingo, Trivia, Brain Aerobics, and informational seminars on topics that interest you.
Eligibility: Anyone over the age of 55
Cost: It’s FREE
We also have volunteer opportunities without leaving your home:
• Use your own phone
• Teach a class of interest
• Create your own class
• Have fun facilitating existing classes bingo, Trivia games, sharing life stories
• You got 15 minutes. No problem! Call participants before class to remind.
• Training and Support provided
Some of the activities offered over the phone include:
• Sharing life stories
• “Funny Bones” (a half hour of funny stories, jokes, and riddles)
• Bingo is offered in both English and Spanish
