Remote Care for Parents in Palo Alto

You're in one city. Your parent is in Palo Alto. VoGro connects them with a local volunteer who helps with groceries, prescriptions, errands, and company.

The phone calls only do so much

You call every day, but you can't tell if they're eating well or taking their meds on time. The agencies you find online cost hundreds a week for someone your parent doesn't want in the house.

VoGro matches your parent with a volunteer from their own neighborhood. Someone who actually wants to help. It feels more like a neighbor dropping by than a service. And it's free.

How it works from your end

1

Fill out a form or call us

You can do this from anywhere. Takes a few minutes.

2

We find a volunteer nearby

Background-checked, in your parent's neighborhood. Usually matched in 24–48 hours.

3

The volunteer reaches out

They call your parent to introduce themselves before the first visit.

4

Help starts

Groceries, prescriptions, errands, company — on whatever schedule works for your parent.

How this is different from an agency

Volunteers live in the neighborhood — they're not assigned from a call center
Same person each time, so your parent knows who's coming
Free. No hourly rate, no subscription
Background-checked and reference-verified
Your parent decides the pace — they can say no anytime

Setting up help for Dad took ten minutes. The volunteer called him before arriving, was patient and kind. Dad actually asked when she could come back.
