RSVP Signature Programs
Portal-Though-Portal Medical Transportation Program
Many Senior, Veteran and Retired people in our community are no longer able to drive. Many also do not have family or friends close by to help. These same people may be on fixed incomes and need to see their doctors or receive medical treatment on a regular basis. RSVP's Portal-Through-Portal Medical Transportation Program provides "FREE" rides to medical appointments to people over age 55 that can no longer drive or have disabilities. We also provide rides to any age for individuals with disabilities but they must be ambulatory.
What is the key to the success of RSVP's Portal-Though-Portal Medical Transportation Program? According to RSVP's transportation coordinator and passengers alike, the key to a successful volunteer driver program is the volunteer drivers; volunteers who want to help others, do something meaningful, and give back. They receive their greatest satisfaction from helping others, being needed, and getting to know the passengers. Their services also contribute to the ability of their passengers to live independently and to age in place and, in many cases, delay their premature institutionalization.
VOLUNTEER DRIVING IS EASY!
There’s no minimum commitment to drive... drive as much or as little as you want
Drivers fit trips to their schedules
Rides are set up by phone and/or email
Clients are able to enter and exit the vehicle on their own
Mileage Reimbursement is available
The RSVP' s Portal-Through-Portal Medical Transportation Program is funded by individual donations, fundraisers, non-profit foundations, and grants including funds from Carroll County. If you are age 55 or older, have a great driving record, and would like to donate some of your spare time to individuals in need of non-emergency medical treatment, please contact RSVP at info.ccrsvp@gmail.com or (603)356-9331.
This project is funded in part by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
Bone Builders Program
The RSVP Bone Builders Osteoporosis Prevention and Reversal Program is an effective combination of weight bearing, balance and stretching exercises, with nutritional information, and support for all stages of osteoporosis. Originally developed from the Strong Living Program of Tufts University, Bone Builders is a free, ongoing program open to all those with concerns about osteoporosis.
When followed diligently, the Bone Builders program and exercises can help the body to increase bone density and reverse the effects of osteoporosis.
Classes meet twice weekly and include standing and sitting exercises, using hand weights and ankle weights for resistance training. Class leaders receive special training. Medical clearance is required. Participants are asked to wear loose fitting slacks and shirts, and appropriate shoes (tennis shoes are good), and to bring a bottle of water and a towel.
