Villanova ReachOut program helps decrease the feeling of social isolation among seniors

Villanova University has developed a ReachOut program in an effort to decrease the feeling of social isolation among seniors. The program partners student volunteers and older adults to participate in weekly telephone calls to engage in social discussion. Calls continue weekly or at a mutually agreed upon frequency.

Villanova ReachOut has received excellent feedback from both the volunteers and their older adult partners.  

If you are, or know of, a senior who would benefit from this program, referrals can be made by email at  [email protected] or by calling 610-519-5969.
