Friends with Wheels is the VNA’s companion program designed to keep you active and independent, so you’re free to do the things you enjoy.
Here’s how it works. You receive a visit by a VNA nurse who evaluates your individual needs. We match you with one of our trained, VNA-certified companions who best meets your needs. You’ll be having fun in no time! And, best of all, you’ll have 24-hour access to a VNA nurse.
Services include:
- Transportation
- Appointment Setting
- Go for scenic drives
- Visit friends or family
- Keep your doctor appointments
- Run errands or go shopping
- Go to a concert or the movies
- Play cards or a game
- Do light housekeeping or laundry
- Organize your home
- Prepare meals
VNA companions are thoroughly background checked and attend a 20-hour training seminar, where they learn about home safety, nutrition, communication and emergency response procedures before they are matched with a client. The program helps seniors maintain their independence with customized services designed to meet their individual needs.
