The Community Visitors Scheme operates out of the New School of Arts Neighbourhood House and provides friendship to lonely and socially isolated residents in aged care homes. Community Visitors are matched to residents based on interests and hobbies and visit either one-on-one or in a group setting.
Community Visitors are visiting residents in aged care homes across the Valley and is a free service. Over time genuine friendships are developed between volunteer and resident and a friendly face is often a much anticipated highlight of a resident's day.
