Well Connected
Well Connected is a telephone and online community made up of participants, staff, facilitators, presenters, and other volunteers who care about each other and who value feeling connected. Their Social Call program matches volunteers and seniors for weekly phone conversations. Find courses of interest or volunteer to teach. You can connect by phone if you don't have a computer.
Senior Call Check Program
The Senior Call Check program is a free resource to MD residents over 65+ and we recommend all seniors use the program as a resource during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Senior Call Check phone lines are open M-F 8 am-5 pm and Saturday 9 am-3 pm. During these hours, seniors can call toll-free 1-866-50-CHECK (1-866-502-0560) and register.
