Are you interested in becoming a Nav-CARE Client?

NAV-CARE IS A FREE PROGRAM

People living with declining health often have unmet needs and social isolation resulting in poor quality of life. Many must make life changing decisions to accommodate new life realities. Getting around the community can become intensely challenging, and many do not know the services that are available to assist them. All of these things influence how people manage their health. Nav-CARE volunteer navigators are trained to help with these needs.

WHAT DO NAV-CARE VOLUNTEERS DO?

  • Help locate local services and resources to help manage declining health
  • Help you get to where you need to go
  • Assist you in re-engaging in hobbies and other interests
  • Talk you through important decisions and future plans
  • Help relieve feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anxiety
  • Offer one-on-one relationships tailored to your needs
  • Book appointments

By having a navigator, you have someone who is committed to you, cares about you, has the time to listen to you, and is able to understand what you’re going through.
