Friendly Visitor – Program

The Friendly Visitor Program offers an hour each week of in-person visiting to support seniors who are feeling isolated and lonely. While one hour a week may seem modest, it can make a world of difference to an isolated senior. Having someone to talk to, having someone who will listen well, someone who might play a game, read to you, walk with you, put together a puzzle, and in general pay you some good attention can brighten your day.

The Friendly Visitor Program can also be done via telephone or a social media platform such as Zoom if this is preferred.

Books for Seniors is a partnership program between the Courtenay and Comox Libraries and Senior Support North Vancouver Island. Once each month a book bundle will be delivered to your door by a Senior Support volunteer. A book bundle will contain items of your choice: print books, audiobooks, magazines, music CDs, and videos. If you are interested in participating, please call our office: 250-703-1388.
