Through a daily chat with a caring, dependable adult volunteer trained in empathic listening and emergency response, CareRing helps keep minor issues from escalating into major emergencies.
We make a 15-minute call to your loved ones on weekdays. Our adult volunteers call at a regular time for a friendly, informal chat about:
- General well-being
- Eating regularly
- Remembering appointments
- Taking medications
- Emotional well-being
- Anything else needed
CareRing volunteers let the people at home know someone is thinking about them and making sure they are safe. We offer you the reassurance that a trained, concerned adult volunteer, supported by clinical supervision and a network of resources, is talking with your parent or loved one each weekday.
Hours of Operation
CareRing volunteers make calls Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to individuals in our local calling area (Metropolitan Washington, DC - USA). Call times can be adjusted to fit around appointments or other activities that alter routine schedules. Calls to participants outside the local calling area can be arranged on an individual basis.
