CCD is a multi-service registered charitable organization providing a broad range of support services for individuals over the age of 16 and their caregivers.
Clients are matched with one of CCD’s Friendly Visiting volunteers and receive much needed social interaction, so they can maintain their independence and quality of life while safely remaining in their home.
We can help!
Community Care Durham’s (CCD) Friendly Visiting service provides support to adults aged 16 and older, who have needs related to aging, physical and/or mental health.
Please note:
In response to COVID-19, in-person Friendly Visiting visits are temporarily suspended. Telephone and Virtual visits are ongoing.

What happens during a visit?
During a Friendly Visit, clients and volunteers may engage in a variety of activities including: a friendly chat, shared hobby, exercise or learning a new skill, all while making a lasting friendship.
Cost
There is no fee for this service.
When do visits occur?
Friendly Visits typically take place once a week for two (2) hours. These visits can be scheduled during the day, evening or on a weekend. Although our volunteers and clients are not currently meeting in person, there are options available to meet on virtual platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet. Together, we can keep people connected!
