Ruth and Karen developed a great friendship over the course of the 3 years that they visited. Karen regularly helped Ruth get to luncheons, hair appointments and other events at the local senior center and invited her to help deliver meals to homebound seniors for Meals on Wheels. Although Karen is no longer an "official" ElderFriends volunteer, they continue to visit on their own time and Karen and her family consider Ruth to be like a family member.
