Visitors7 Service Seeks Volunteers
One of the newer and little
known service groups of the
valley is the Friendly Vis
itors' Service. Organized by
the health committee of the
Rogue Valley Council on
Aging, the women who work
in Friendly Visitors strive to
bring assistance and cheer to
senior citizens of Jackson
county who reside in nursing
homes.
Some of these seniors no
longer have relatives and
friends able to visit them, and
nursing home operators and
employees are too busy to
pause to read letters, talk
with the patients or remem
ber a birthday anniversary.
There is said to be a great
need for volunteers to give
these services and assistance.
The service was organized
in November of 1958 after an
investigation among the Jack
son County Welfare Depart
ment employees, physicians
and nursing home operators
as to what the health commit
tee might do within its abili
ties. The Rogue Valley Coun
cil on the Aging was, of
course, set up along with oth
er councils throughout the
state - and nation - by legis
lative action to begin plan
ning and help in an area
which is becoming an increas
ing problem in our country.
Program Endorsed
Though there are many
church groups and individuals
who call at some of the nurs
ing homes to sing for patients,
it was thought that there was
a need for visitors on a regu
lar basis to perform other
services. Because mental well
being is so closely linked to
physical well-being, the pro
gram has had the endorse
ment of medical groups.
Letters appealing for vol
unteers for the service were
sent to church and civic
groups in the county and
around 45 women and a few
men were given a training
course in basic social service
concepts by Mrs. Frank Fair
weather, Red Cross social
service trainee, and by Mrs.
Vyvyan Gardner and Miss
Agnes White of the Jackson
County Welfare department.
The "dos and don'ts" of work
ing with nursing home pa
tients were given by nursing
home operators and the Red
Cross supplied space for the
training.
Each volunteer was then
assigned to a nursing home
where the operator desired
the service. Ideally, each vis
itor is to have four or five
patients to call on once a
week to read and write let
ters, visit, take for rides or
walks and perform such serv
ices as requested. However,
I
because of the shortage of
volunteers this is not always
possible.
There needs to be a con
stant recruitment and train
ing of new volunteers to re
place those who have had to
drop out. Mrs. S. D: Earhart,
who has recently moved from
the city, has been in charge of
recruitment and will be re
placed by Mrs. Judd Green
man, representing Medford
Council of Church ' Women.
Mrs. Chester Guches is chair
man of the health committee.
"It is hoped in the future
there will be sufficient vol
unteers to call in all homes
in the valley," Mrs. Guches
states. "Ashland is especially
in need of volunteers. It is
