ElderLink home and care home visiting
Birmingham, UK
BCM's project serving older people based in east Birmingham brings important contact and friendship to clients who are often isolated and needing support. Its team of staff and volunteers visit private residences and care homes to bring the hope and comfort of Jesus to older people in Birmingham. Care home visits We support churches in delivering Christian services in care homes around south Birmingham. We aim to visit care homes in our scheme once a month with an interactive explanation of a passage from the Bible and plenty of singing of hymns from the past. We always end with conversation over a dementia-friendly craft. Home Visiting Scheme Our visiting scheme is designed for people aged 66+ who live in the B25, B26,B27 and B28 areas and who experience loneliness and social isolation. Scheme members are visited by our trained staff and volunteers who visit in pairs. We accept referrals for those who live independently or in assisted living accommodation and who lack a strong social network.
