Who We Are
Clients of The CareGivers often live alone on fixed incomes and are without transportation or other means of service. It is thanks to The CareGivers, that their wishes to remain living at home are preserved, their health and wellness improve, and they positively engage in the world around them. Currently, the median age for CareGivers clients is 78, with 93% living alone and 85% female.
Adequate nutrition is a very real issue for the vulnerable people we serve. Subsisting on small fixed incomes, they often choose between filling prescriptions, heating their homes, or having food in their cabinets.
What We Do
The CareGivers helps over 600 homebound elderly and disabled in in twelve NH communities maintain their independence and dignity through the spirit of volunteerism. All services are provided free of charge. Volunteers provide rides to medical and other essential appointments for those who cannot access reliable transportation, deliver food to those unable to shop on their own, or simply provide emotional support for individuals who would suffer from isolation and loneliness.
