RSVP is an inter-generational volunteer program that serves Batavians by identifying the needs of senior individuals within the community and then coordinating a volunteer response. The 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit group is directed and run by volunteers.
RSVP services include:
* Transportation for medical appointments and other essential trips, as well as local errands. * Furnish information on services or programs available to seniors. Refer cases to United Way/Kane County 211 call center, as necessary. * Installation and maintenance of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in seniors' homes at no cost. Work with Batavia Fire Department to do annual battery change-outs. * Helps eligible seniors pay for their prescription drugs, basic dental services and hearing aid batteries. (Medical Assistance Program - MAP) * Installation of lock boxes (Fire Department emergency access) on seniors' homes at no cost.
The mission of Batavia RSVP is to provide services to residents of our community who are age 65 and older. The goal is to help seniors live independently and to maintain as high a quality of life as possible.
