The Care Circles of Westchester is a new program that provides family caregivers with assistance from volunteers.<\/p>\n
A care circle is a group of volunteers who are willing to help a person who needs care \u2014 such as an elderly person \u2014 with the tasks of daily living, including laundry, dog-walking, and rides to doctor’s appointments. <\/p>\n
The Care Circles is part of Westchester’s Livable Communities Initiative. One of its goals is to help seniors age in their homes and communities, rather than in facilities. A ready community of volunteers who help with daily living tasks can advance that goal.<\/p>\n
