Adopt A Grandparent Program
Creating other opportunities for community members to help our seniors. CONTACT USAbout Adopt-A-Grandparent
Compassionate Care Senior Services and Franklin Home Health Agency welcome you to participate in our new community program, Adopt-A-Grandparent. We recognize that our senior community members are at a larger risk of experiencing isolation and depression. We hope that by offering this program to the community we will be able to bring younger and older generations closer by giving them opportunities to engage and learn from each other through written or virtual (call/text) communication. In addition to bridging generational gaps, this program is also creating other opportunities for community members to help our seniors by offering an online wish list linked with items our senior clients are in need of. We hope for all of our clients to feel the love of their neighbors and community members with the launch of this new program. There are many new opportunities coming in the future, follow us on Facebook to stay updated!
How to get Involved
Option 1
Complete our adoption questionnaire linked below to get matched with one of our senior clients in our care. Adopted families will be required to communicate with one another on a weekly basis through ONLY written or virtual (Call/Text) communication.
At this time, neither virtual (Facetime) or in-person visits are authorized at this time to prevent HIPPA violations or privacy concerns.
Option 2
Click on our Amazon wish list link to shop for items are senior clients have requested. With most living on fixed income, having extra funds to purchase extra items they might need or to replace old items can be difficult. By purchasing an item off the wish list, you’re helping our seniors receive some much-needed items and showing that their community cares about them.
