2021 is opening with new opportunities for Senior Solutionsâ volunteers. Delivering new reassurance contacts with our Volunteer Visitor Program recipients is helping our volunteers initiate new protocols.
COVID-19 challenges have caused volunteers some anxious moments because they miss the routines of seeing their visitor partners in person. We all feel the need for companionship. In place of the important face to face visits, we are now doing phone visits, plus doing shopping and other errands. This helps fill the void. Our volunteers want to be busy. We have responded by finding ways to lend laptops and other devices to the individuals the Volunteer Visitors serve so that they can have Zoom get togethers, complete needed telehealth conferences and connect with loved ones. Aside from having virtual visits, the volunteers may be able to tutor some aging Vermonters on the techniques in using these devices.
