Call Directions Website

South Whidbey at Home South Whidbey at Home is a membership-based nonprofit helping older South Whidbey residents remain in their homes & active in the community they love!

We provide volunteer assistance, empowering educational opportunities, & social activities. Members of SW@Home are age 55 and older and for a reasonable annual fee have access to volunteer services, a resource list, and social activities. Supporters are any age and can use the list of and are invited to all social activities, but receive no volunteer help. Volunteers are any age as well, and will help members with small home and garden chores, errands, rides, daily check-ins or weekly visits, help with pets or technology, or whatever the volunteer wants to offer. Membership in SW@Home is $240/household. There is no additional charge at this time for a second member from the same household as we attempt to keep our membership affordable to all. Donations to keep our program serving Seniors living on South Whidbey are always welcome, and much needed. Our program is up and running for over 4 years now, since July 2016.

Great article on how healthy it is for us to have pets, particularly dogs that we walk! WAIF has a great program on the island called Seniors for Seniors that makes adoption inexpensive and easy if the human is at least 62 years old and they adopt a dog or cat that is at least 8 years old. It's a win win for the pet and the human!

We had a wonderful Solo Agers Meeting this week. Sari Spieler shared her Go Book with us: “Are you ready to “GO”, when you have a medical appointment or a surprise visit to the Emergency Room? Does your family or advocate have what they need to support you? Learn how to put together your own “GO BOOK” or prepare one for someone you are advocating for. We talked about the different kinds of information you should have available at a moment’s notice, how to get organized, and where to put and how to share your documents.
