We are excited to announce our newest partner long-term care home: True Davidson Acres. SAGE volunteers will be connecting with residents at True Davidson Acres over video chat every week in our Companion Calls program. SAGE volunteers and Katharine, SAGE’s Communications Executive, will be going in-person to facilitate these calls. They have a unique opportunity to assist staff and residents with other activities, including recreational programs and mealtimes. SAGE continues to promote Companion Calls while beginning to resume in-person activities. Our Companion Calls program allows seniors and volunteers to engage in meaningful conversation, make new friends, and stay connected.

​We are grateful for our volunteers and for True Davidson Acres for making this program possible. True Davidson Acres is a home that values their volunteers and recognizes the important roles they play in promoting senior well-being. If you are interested in becoming a Companion Caller, please complete this form.
