About Membership
Our goal is for you to remain in your home of choice and to be engaged in the community you love!
Membership
If you are 55 and over and live within the South Whidbey School District with our northern boundary recently expanded to Bakken Road, you may be a good candidate for membership! Your annual dues give you access to periodic fun social events and empowering educational opportunities to help keep your life rich and full. You may want to volunteer a little and then when you need help, our call managers will support and assist you in deciding what services you need, and then connect you to volunteers who provide a variety of small but essential services to help you live independently at home. They provide on-island transportation, light gardening, technical assistance, walking/exercise buddy, short-term pet care, a social visit or phone call, minor household repairs, and much more.
What is the cost? Membership dues are $240 per year for the first person in the household. That’s just $20 a month for peace of mind. If you'd like to add another member who lives in your household, their dues are only $120 per year. After an interest in membership is expressed, an appointment is made for a home visit to further explain our services and to answer any questions. Once the annual fee is collected, the member has immediate access to events and volunteers who provide camaraderie and as well as assist with daily tasks, transportation, and household chores.
