When my dad was living alone and lonely we did talk daily. It was fine to me. He was understanding if I had to go attend to something else. There wasn’t any service like you describe in the area. Nice that you have this and dad likes it. One of the saddest things is to be lonely and have no one to talk with

I read about such types of services. Thanks for letting us know it is worthwhile for your Dad.

AARP had a service - volunteers who would call to chat and check on elders. I don't know if they still have it.

Wow. This sounds like something I'd like to try. What's the name of the service? Thanks for sharing.

I wish my in-laws would have enjoyed/allowed daily telephone visits, but sadly they are gone and it never became part of their lifestyle. Glad that services of this kind exist now .

There is a Senior Center near me that has Seniors that volunteer to make calls to others. No charge for the calls.

Our church has a Care Ministry where a specific team of volunteers calls and/or visits people who are "shut ins". We have a schedule so that they are visited regularly.

This is great! Where do you find something like this? Even though I’m here with them 24/7 right now, I can’t imagine how much they’d love to make an outside connection/friend to chat with! Thanks for sharing.

What do strangers have to chat about, I guess I don't get it?

My mom loved getting a daily email from me for decades. Her last 3 years she switched to voice texting when her vision struggled.

ebonylady2024: I lost my dad when he was just 50. I spoke to my mother multiple times per day until I had to move in with her from out of state to provide care. She lived to 94. Not a tech service.
