We match you with an older person based on shared interests and location and then support you to create a friendship through regular visits. The COTA Visitors program aims to enrich the life of an older person experiencing loneliness or isolation by offering conversation, news, new interests, friendship, and a special connection through a shared language, life experience or cultural understanding.
We have new friends waiting in Morphettville, Marion & Brighton areas. More information and online applications are available on our website.
