CBC's Metro Morning host Ismaila Alfa spoke with Nucleus client Joselyn on her experience with the Companion Call Program. Take a listen to the impact the experience has had on both her and her volunteer.
About the Companion Call Program:
To reduce isolation among our clients, Nucleus launched the Virtual Companion Call (VCC) program earlier this year. In partnership with CompanionLink and the Seniors Life Enhancement Centre (SLEC), the program created virtual social connections between isolated, frail seniors and trained volunteers through technology (phone, tablets).
