This program provides respite support for caregiving families to maintain and improve their quality of life. Screened Friendly Visitor Volunteers offer caregivers an opportunity to take a break (respite) from their caregiving duties and serve as friendly visiting companions to older adults as a part of our Caregiver Support Program. Their primary activities include:

• Conversation and companionship
• Play games or engage in creative arts
• Light exercise, short-distance walks
• Reading, watching TV or movies together

The ACC Senior Services Transportation Program (ACC Rides) is a lifeline that provides door-to-door transportation to seniors in the community, providing a measure of independence for people who are unable to drive or use public transport. In this role, volunteers will transport seniors to various programs, medical appointments, and social outings operating an ACC vehicle (either a mini van or small bus) within a 10-mile driving distance of ACC Senior Services location at 7334 Park City Drive located in the Greenhaven/Pocket area.

ACC Rides is a lifeline that provides a measure of independence to people who cannot drive, due to mobility, physical or cognitive disabilities, are unable to utilize public transit or lack other means of transport. Caregivers can also depend on ACC Rides to transport their loved ones to classes or other programs at ACC.

Safety Information: All Volunteer Drivers must possess a valid California Driver's License and a clean driving record for the last five (5) years.
