UR Community Cares connects older adults/disabled people with background checked Volunteers (age 15+). Community Members qualify if age 70+ and/or 18+ physically disability (temporary after injury/illness or permanent). Community Members also have background checks performed to provide added safety. Volunteers help with: Yardwork, Housework, Companion and Transportation, at no cost. We are preparing for the 10,000 people retiring every day… Many are having a very difficult time physically caring for their homes and have limited ability to perform activities. Many live on fixed incomes and are unable to pay for private caregivers, many have family that have passed or moved away and need help to stay in their home as they are aging. Our goal is for people to help support neighbors in their time of need. We are a non-profit that is working to help reduce falls/hospitalizations for the population that are lonely due to surgery, illness or mobility limitations.
