TAARE AAPKA
Companionship For Our Seniors
WHAT WE SEEK TO ACHIEVE
Companionship for our Seniors
TAARE AAPKA seeks to enable Seniors / Elderly to interact socially, with someone in their local community, in the comfort of their homes, a few times a month.
The interaction is to help in the Physical and Mental well being of the Senior.
How It Works
A Senior (at home) will be connected with a Volunteer, who lives nearby (in the society / neighbourhood). The Volunteer would go to the Senior’s home and interact on a one on one basis with the Senior for a 1 hour Session.
​
Currently being launched in Societies which have approx. 80+ flats, hence providing an easier access and potential critical mass of Elders and Volunteers. With both parties being from the same Society/ neighborhood, there is a notional check and balance for safety
Pre-defined rules and expectations would be set and explained to both the Elder and the Volunteer so that all parties know what is expected of them.
​
The 1 hour sessions are to provide the Senior companionship as well as to keep them mentally active. Done through games, conversations about current events and interests
​
A Manager assigned, would be the single point of contact for both the Volunteer and the Senior. The Manager would also be from your society / neighborhood
​
This is a paid service
