Friendly Visitors

Friendly Visitors provide companionship to lonely elders at home, in nursing homes, and in assisted living facilities. Supervised volunteers visit an isolated elderly or handicapped person for a minimum of one hour per week. Our services are provided in Brookline, Dedham, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, and West Roxbury. The program accepts referrals from area churches of any faith, area hospitals, concerned families and neighbors, human service agencies, and visiting nurse associations.
