Elder Care
CATHEDRAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Jacksonville community has trusted and relied upon the Cathedral Foundation, Inc. to create a better way of life for elders for the past forty years. Established as an outreach ministry of St. John's Cathedral, the Cathedral Foundation delivers hot, nutritious meals to elders in their homes; provides transportation to medical appointments; delivers quality nursing care and provides community, comfort and love to hundreds of thousands of elders. Many rewarding volunteer opportunities are available within the Cathedral Foundation, which include: delivering meals to elders living alone in their own homes; providing relief to full-time elder caregivers; visiting with elders in their own homes; providing telephone reassurance to seniors who live alone; providing light housekeeping and/or shopping assistance; providing transportation to medical appointments; visiting with bed-bound elders living in the nursing home; leading special activities in the nursing home or simply calling a game of bingo for elders living there.

CATHEDRAL RESIDENCES VISITATION
Ministering as a volunteer for the Cathedral residences is rewarding and fulfilling. Volunteers visit our Cathedral members (or others who do not attend St. John's) at a convenient time for both. Activities will vary according to the individual resident, whether it is playing scrabble, reading a book, taking a walk, or simply sitting and conversing. Soon, the Cathedral residents will become your friends!
