Volunteer Programs
Opportunities For All Ages
Individuals, families, and groups are all encouraged to join us and make a difference in the lives of older adults today.
Friendly Visitor Program
Friendly Visitors are compassionate individuals and groups who engage in fun and meaningful activities with residents living in long-term care facilities to build social connections and to enrich their lives. Our mission is to help combat the isolation and loneliness that is so prevalent in nursing homes and assisted living facilities in our Dallas County (Texas) service area.
Money Management
Money Management offers volunteer opportunities for you to use skills you have learned in business or in managing a home to help vulnerable older adults in our community remain independent as long as possible.
Guardianship
Older adults who are no longer able to make decisions for themselves are at risk for abuse, neglect, or exploitation. In that situation, a court may appoint a guardian to manage a senior’s affairs. The Senior Source’s Guardianship Program assists seniors and their families to preserve the health and well-being of vulnerable seniors who require guardianship.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program
Vulnerable seniors living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities rely on ombudsmen to listen to their concerns and advocate on their behalf. If you are 21 years or older and have the time and concern, there’s a resident waiting for you.
There is always a need for more volunteers to meet the needs of frail elderly in nursing homes. You can help by becoming a volunteer ombudsman!
