Oregon Senior Peer Outreach
Older Adult Telephone Support
October 2023 – At this time we are now providing support for Seniors in Clatsop, Columbia, Wasco and Washington County only. We hope to grow the program to serve all Oregon Seniors in the future.
Oregon Senior Peer Outreach offers friendly weekly calls to older adults who may be experiencing loneliness, isolation, sadness, grief or loss. This year has been exceptionally challenging for seniors, and our trained senior peers are ready to share their hope and connection!
Please let us know you would like our service by calling 1-833-736-4676 or by making a referral online using our Senior Outreach Online Referral Form:
If an older adult lives in Clatsop, Columbia, Wasco or Washington County, we can offer long-term peer partnerships! These weekly calls have proven results of reducing loneliness and encouraging involvement in social, physical and pleasurable activities.
The Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Telephone Service is currently accepting referrals in Clatsop, Columbia, Wasco and Washington Counties only! This peer support program has been designed to increase the well-being of Oregon Seniors (55+) who live in the rural and frontier counties. A team of experienced Senior Peer Support staff place weekly calls to connect with isolated Seniors to reduce the health impacts of loneliness and social isolation.
Program leadership is provided by CCS Staff members:
Our team of experienced Senior Peer Supporters place weekly telephone calls to elders (55+) in Oregon who want a caring, compassionate friend to talk with. We understand some of the unique challenges of growing older and spending too much time alone. Let us provide a caring, personal connection!
Our goal is to connect with our participants, to listen, and to discover together how we can make sense of our experiences and to find and share hope. We understand that everyone has a unique worldview. Our Senior Peer Supporters are people who have experienced life challenges – including big feelings, voices, visions, trauma, and addictions. Now that we are moving into our golden years, we feel that there is no need to go it alone!
Referrals for persons who may benefit from the new service can be made by filling out the Referral Request form located below, or by calling us at:
