Outreach Program:
As a major part of our outreach program we provide
the following services:
- Daily Reassurance Calls - We make arrangements
with individuals, families, or with local clergy to call our
homebound participants 1-5 times per week, Monday through Friday,
as determined by the needs and desires of the individual. These
calls are established so as to give the participant comfort
and peace of mind when receiving these calls.
- Weekly In-Home Visits - We make arrangements
with individuals, families, or local clergy for weekly visits
of an hour each to provide our homebound participants a friendly
face to go along with the voice they hear in the calls we make
to them. These visits are also established in such a way will
feel both comfortable and safe during the visit.
- Transportation - We also can arrange to provide
transportation to the Center for those who are homebound but
still able to come to the Center and participate in the Center
programs and activities. Sometimes being "homebound"
is more of a frame of mind than a necessity.
We also provide transportation for such needs as doctor's appointments.
The charge for transportation in our van is $5 for trips within
Hendersonville and $8 for trips to Gallatin, Madison, or Goodlettsville.
To arrange for a ride please call the Center at (615) 822-8758
and ask for Frank.
All programs listed above are set up and initially administered
by our outreach coordinator, Bonnie Parker. If you are interested
in discussing any of the programs above you may contact Bonnie
by calling the Center at (615) 822-8758 Monday through Thursday.
