Companionship

Volunteering Central Coast Inc. (VCC) runs the Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) program which serves as a role to support residents living in Commonwealth subsidised aged care facilities across the Central Coast, including residents of ethnic or cultural background the areas served by VCC are: Bateau Bay, Hamlyn Terrace, Wyee, Killlarney Vale, Wyong, Wyoming and Point Clare. The CVS is funded by the Department of Health and Ageing to provide volunteer community visitors to those residents who are socially isolated, and whose quality of life would be improved by friendship and companionship. The one-on-one friendship helps to connect the resident to the community and reduces their risk of isolation. It is the role of VCC to recruit, train and support volunteer community visitors.
