All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Visit an isolated older adult for at least an hour, then score their loneliness with UCLA's 3-item scale. Loneliness, social isolation, and living alone raise the likelihood of death by 26%, 29%, and 32% (Holt-Lunstad 2015). Connection is a health intervention the US Surgeon General named an epidemic-scale need in 2023, and it is work nobody is paid to do.

Fund it for $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like
A companion visitor shares a meal or walk with an older adult, then asks the three UCLA questions from the scale and writes the total in a visit log.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof
visit log recorded, date, 60-plus minutes, what was shared + UCLA 3-item loneliness total recorded, 3 to 9 + one concrete connection offered + any accepted handoff named + red flags recorded absent or routed per the rule

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • the 3-item UCLA Loneliness Scale on paper or phone (three items, each scored 1 hardly ever / 2 some of the time / 3 often)
  • a printed list of local connection resources (senior center, faith or community groups, library programs, social-prescribing or 211 line — a free, 24/7, FCC-designated referral line covering 99% of the US population, and the way to find the local Adult Protective Services number when it isn't already known) and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number
  • something to share: a meal, a walk route, a game, or the errand the person named
  • a visit log (date, duration, what was done, what was offered, the person's own words on what they want next time)

Steps

  1. 1. Arrange the visit at the person's chosen time and place; confirm any household rule (pets, entry, who else is home). Introduce yourself as a companion visitor, not a health worker.
  2. 2. Spend the first part simply present: conversation the person leads, a shared meal or a walk, or the ordinary errand they asked for. No agenda, no forms first.
  3. 3. When it fits naturally, ask the three UCLA items (lack companionship, feel left out, feel isolated) and record the total (3-9). Say it is a conversation starter, not a test.
  4. 4. Ask what connection the person would actually want (a weekly call, a group, transport to something they used to do) and offer one concrete option from the resource list; where the person agrees, make the introduction or the call together (a warm handoff), never a leaflet alone.
  5. 5. Note anything that is not a companion's to handle: signs of depression (ask the two PHQ-2 questions if the person is open to it), statements about self-harm, unsafe housing, signs of abuse or neglect, or a medical concern; route each per the decision rules below.
  6. 6. Agree the next visit or call before leaving; log the visit in the person's own words; the visit record belongs to the person.

What counts as done

  • Visit log of at least 60 minutes in person (or video where the person chose), in the person's own words
  • UCLA 3-item Loneliness Scale total (3-9) with the date
  • One concrete connection option offered, and any handoff the person accepted (who, when)
  • Every decision-rule red flag recorded as absent or routed as the rule says

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

What is promised, and what is not

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788466875393_7csw5n6","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.

Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
