Call N Connect
Would you or a loved one enjoy a weekly phone call from a volunteer to check-in and say “Hello”? If so, Thrive55+ Active Living Center (Groton Senior Center) has your solution!
Call N Connect, a national program through Call Hub, was put in place to help seniors stay connected and have socialization by phone. Anyone feeling lonely or isolated can benefit from a weekly phone call from a friendly volunteer to help brighten their day.
The Call Hub system keeps phone numbers between volunteer callers and seniors confidential. A background check and training is required for volunteer callers before they can call seniors.
This program is open to seniors age 55 and older living in any town in Connecticut.
For more information or to sign up for a weekly phone call,
Please contact Groton SC Program Supervisor Tomi Stanley, (860) 441-6782.
