Annapolis, MD (August 1, 2024) - The Department of Aging and Disabilities Telephone Reassurance Program is seeking volunteers to make well-check phone calls to residents of Anne Arundel County. Volunteers connect with older adults and individuals with disabilities to help them remain independent in their homes for as long as possible. We are currently recruiting volunteers to assist with telephone calls one or more days each month between 8:00-10:30 a.m. Calls can be made at the volunteer's home. Telephone Reassurance volunteers must complete an application, a criminal background check, and required training.
The Telephone Reassurance Program places daily well-check telephone calls to older adults and adults with disabilities who are living alone in Anne Arundel County. These individuals can count on a friendly telephone call every day of the year. Family members, who may live outside of Anne Arundel County, have the assurance that their loved ones are in daily contact with a Department of Aging and Disabilities volunteer. The program helps individuals maintain their independence and their contact with the outside world. It is also a great way for volunteers to support their community and gain a sense of purpose.
If you are a resident of Anne Arundel County and are interested in volunteering for the Telephone Reassurance Program, call 410-222-4339 for an application. TTY users, please call via Maryland Relay 7-1-1.
