Our Program

Conscious Touch Teams aims to provide…

Personalized Visits: Conscious Touch Teams provide nurturing touch and emotional support to residents who have consented to our visits.

Thorough Volunteer Screening: All volunteers undergo comprehensive background checks, fingerprinting, and TB tests to ensure the safety of the residents.

Specialized Training: Volunteers receive in-depth training in: (1) safe, nurturing touch; (2) infection control; (3) abuse prevention and reporting.

Team Based Approach: Volunteers work in teams to provide 15-30 minute visits to each assigned resident. Teams see one to three residents per facility visit.

Professional Support: Our volunteer teams are assisted by paid, professional staff who provide ongoing support and guidance, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of every visit.
