More on Citizens Who Care:

 The Yolo County charity Citizens Who Care (CWC) has offices in Woodland at the United Way building; Executive Director Joanne Bell heads the professional staff. CWC seeks to improve the quality of life for the frail elderly of Yolo County and their family caregivers through social support programs and services. Trained, caring volunteers, with the support of our professional staff, provide these services.

CWC offers three kinds of social support programs and services:

THE IN-HOME RESPITE VISITING PROGRAM provides family caregivers of older adults with a weekly break from care-giving. We provide companionship and social support to both the older adult and the caregiver. Our respite volunteers are trained and supported by CWC’s professional staff.

THE CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL VISITING PROGRAM provides companionship and mental stimulation to socially isolated elderly residents. Volunteers of all ages are matched with residents. Some visiting volunteers bring their friendly, well-behaved pets to lift the spirits of residents. Our Director of Volunteers trains each convalescent hospital volunteer.

THE TIME OFF FOR CAREGIVERS PROGRAM offers site-based social respite (time off) activities at the Davis Senior Center on two Saturdays each month, giving caregivers a five-hour break each program day. The program includes a healthy lunch and a variety of stimulating activities. Our professional staff provides periodic individual assessments of the participants.
