A kind of presence for patients with or without family nearby
Betty's Eyez connects volunteers with people in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and nursing homes — whether they have family or not — when they're hungry, in pain, or simply in need of company.

How Betty's Eyez works
Three simple steps turn an hour of your time into a meaningful difference.
Step 1
Browse patients
See people near you who need a visitor, filtered by the kind of support they're looking for.
Step 2
Request a visit
Choose a patient, pick a time, and the facility reviews your request. Background checks keep everyone safe.
Step 3
Be present
Visit, listen, advocate. Log your notes afterward so the next volunteer knows what helped.
The needs we answer
Every patient's situation is different. Volunteers offer the kind of support that family would — if family were there.
Hunger
Help with meals, feeding, and ensuring nutritional needs are met.
Pain
Advocate for pain management and alert staff when discomfort rises.
Companionship
Be a warm presence — conversation, reading, or simply sitting together.
Advocacy
Speak up for the patient's needs with doctors and care staff.
Mobility
Assist with movement, walks, and physical comfort.
"We were very blessed to have someone with my sister when she was in the hospital. It was at this point we realized not all family members were as fortunate as ours. Betty's Eyez allows us to be there for others in their time of need."
