Hello all,
We are the non-profit Create Circles! We strive to combat feelings of loneliness and social isolation among older adults in long-term care facilities. We believe that companionship alone is not enough, and that we must craft a sense of purpose among older adults. We pair our (trained) volunteers with older adults at long-term care facilities to meet 2 times a week (virtually) not only to have meaningful discussions but to also participate together in a shared long-term project.
This is what it would look like, you would:
We look forward to working with you,
Create Circles Team

This is what it would look like, you would:
- Get a quick one-hour training on the best practices to engage with older adults
- Get paired with a resident in a partner nursing home
- Meet virtually with the resident 2 times per week
- Collaborate on a shared project with your resident
We look forward to working with you,
