WOCRC launched two community service centres in November in Fitzroy Harbour and Constance Bay.
Friendly Visiting and Telephone Assurance
Volunteers are matched with individuals who are feeling isolated to provide regular social contact as well as the reassurance that help is available if needed. This free service may be provided by a personal face to face visit, by telephone or other means for clients who need regular social contact on a one-on-one basis.
If you live outside of Kanata, Nepean and West Carleton, please use Caredove to find the nearest provider of this service.
The WOCRC makes every effort to accommodate all requests for CSS, which depends on the availability of volunteers and workers. We look forward to serving you or a loved one soon!
