One Call Does It All


We offer various types of assistance–the kinds of help a neighbor might offerto seniors who live in Wayne County (PA), western Sullivan County (NY), and adjacent areas. These services are provided by our team of dedicated volunteers who have been interviewed, oriented, and have undergone a background check.


They are a great group, and you’ll enjoy getting to know them!


Membership dues cover up to two services a week between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday.
