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.
You can make a difference as a Friendly Visitor!
