Who We Are

Exchanging Time, Creating Community

A volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping older adults age in place with dignity, purpose, and neighborly support since 1993.

Our Mission

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Help older adults live independently in their own homes and actively engage in the community through a unique culture of service exchange — where members volunteer their time and talents to help each other.

The PIC Model

Service Exchange & Time Banking

Partners In Care uses a unique time-banking model where members support each other by exchanging volunteer hours. When you help a neighbor, you earn credits — and when you need help, you use them.

This approach preserves dignity and independence: everyone has something to give, and everyone can receive with grace.
