Community Visitation Program
This program pairs residents in the Independent Living area of Crosslands with residents in Audland and Firbank. These volunteers are caring friends who provide socialization and a friendly ear. The program is headed by Judy Mason, Judith Greene and Thomas Swain and liaisons with Jeri Iacono, Crosslands Life Enrichment Manager. If you would like to join the group, contact either Judy Mason or Jeri Iacono.
