The Seniors In Your Neighborhood Need You! The Geriatric Wellness Center of Collin County has started a new program, "Project Independence," for seniors after they are discharged from Medical Center of McKinney.  We're looking for volunteers to become Client Advocates.   What is it? ·      Frail seniors that don't have adequate family/government support after discharge will be identified by Medical Center of McKinney hospital staff ·      Client Advocate will then provide practical assistance (i.e. errand assistance, etc.) a couple of hours per week for a temporary (typically 6-8 week) time period during the senior's recovery ·      Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older; ·      Possess a Texas Driver's License and Automobile Insurance; ·      Be willing to complete a criminal background check and driving record review. ·      Volunteers will attend 1 training session prior to placement.  ·      Bilingual language skills a plus but not required. Please contact the Project Independence Supervisor, Elizabeth Kent, LMSW at (972)941-7335 to become an invaluable link to senior independence!
