Assistance League’s TeleCare Connects with the Homebound

Launch your holiday season with Santa!

Since 1971, member volunteers of TeleCare, a philanthropic program of Assistance League® of Diablo Valley, have been making daily reassurance calls, Monday through Friday, to seniors and the homebound in our community. Clients can anticipate a friendly exchange of ideas with trained volunteers who provide high quality, consistent communications. If a client can not be reached, family members will be notified.

This service is free! Additional TeleCare activities include an annual holiday party where clients meet each other and member volunteers face to face. They also receive greeting cards from the Assisteens, an auxiliary where tweens and teens learn to participate in a community service at a young age. So make that call to get you or someone you know connected.
