OPINION — One of the most meaningful resolutions our community can make together in 2026 is helping our homebound neighbors remain independent and connected to the world around them.
Across the greater Phoenix area, more than 180 homebound adults are waiting to be matched with a volunteer through Duet: Partners In Health & Aging. These are seniors and adults with health challenges who want to continue living in their own homes but can no longer drive or manage everything on their own.
For them, a lack of transportation or companionship isn’t a small inconvenience, it can mean isolation, declining health and the loss of independence.
