Assistance League’s TeleCare Reaches Out to the Homebound

Reassurance is just a phone call away.

Who said that talking on the phone has become a lost art?
Who said that talking on the phone has become a lost art?

Lonely at Home? Since 1971, Assistance League® of Diablo Valley’s TeleCare member volunteers have been making reassurance phone calls to the homebound, people of all ages, male and female, Monday through Friday.

If the current “Shelter-in-Place” policy due to the Caronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents isolation issues, or if you feel that you would benefit from a friendly and comforting phone chat, please phone 925-934-0901 to request a TeleCare caller. In the interest of overall wellness, feel free to spread the word to your friends and family and encourage them to make the call, as well.

Just remember: A good conversationalist is a good listener. Assistance League of Diablo Valley’s TeleCare member volunteers have turned this maxim into an artform. So, make the call.
