Sometimes the days get long. It’s nice to hear from someone. The Neighbor to Neighbor Call Program is  a telephone reassurance program that offers personal contact and an opportunity to socialize for aging adults, caregivers or adults living with disabilities on a regular basis with volunteer callers.

The service is FREE of charge to individuals residing in Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Iowa, Keokuk, Louisa, Mahaska, Monona, Montgomery, Poweshiek, Shelby, and Woodbury Counties. This program serves aging individuals or disabled adults in need of personal contact on a temporary or long-term basis.

The Neighbor to Neighbor Call Program is not a referral service, telemedicine provider or medical alert service.

Would you like to receive a call?

You’ll be matched with a volunteer for a once-a-week check-in. Enrollment is easy!
