Friendly Visits
Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give is our time. Friendly Visits connects caring volunteers with older adults for meaningful companionship, conversation, Jewish connection, and friendship.
What Are Friendly Visits?
A friendly conversation. A cup of coffee. A familiar face to look forward to.
Friendly Visits thoughtfully matches compassionate volunteers with seniors for regular one-on-one visits in private homes, senior living communities, and assisted living residences.
Every match is designed to create a friendship that feels comfortable, meaningful, and rewarding for both the senior and the volunteer.
Why Friendly Visits Matter
What Does a Visit Look Like?
There is no formula for a Friendly Visit. Every friendship is different. Volunteers and seniors might:
The most important thing isn't the activity. It's the relationship.
Want to Volunteer?
You don't need special experience. You simply need to care.
Smile On Seniors provides orientation, guidance, and ongoing support so every volunteer feels prepared and comfortable.
Whether you visit weekly or a few times each month, consistency can turn a simple visit into a genuine friendship.
Looking for a Friendly Visit?
Friendly Visits may be a wonderful fit for an older adult living:
• In a senior living community
• In assisted living
Family members are also welcome to reach out on behalf of someone they love.
A Friendship Can Begin With One Visit
Whether you'd like to volunteer or know an older adult who would enjoy regular companionship, we'd love to hear from you.
