Through our Phone Pals program, our specially trained volunteers provide companionship and social contact to seniors through weekly phone calls.
Volunteers and clients are carefully matched by common interests and language/culture.

- Live alone in their own homes or apartments
- Have little to no family support
- Have physical impairments that prevent them from leaving their homes on their own
- Are able and willing to have a volunteer call them, and are able to hold a conversation on the phone
Service Area
The service area runs from Major Mackenzie Rd W to St Clair Ave, and from Jane St to the Don Valley Parkway.
What Our Clients Are Saying
“My Phone Pal volunteer calls me 3 times each week. He is conscientious and has never once missed calling me! Sometimes it’s just a quick check-in to say hello. Other times, we talk for much longer – about books, current events, or just life. I’m grateful to Circle of Care for having this program. Knowing that someone is out there thinking of me and regularly checking in makes me feel supported.”
