By volunteering as a Senior Companion, you can make a positive difference by providing weekly or bi-weekly visits that keep older adults feeling well — both physically and emotionally.
Senior Companion volunteers offer assistance with daily tasks and transportation to older adults who wish to stay active, healthy, and continue living at home. Through weekly or bi/weekly in-home visits a few hours, our volunteers offer assistance by:
- Being a friend who listens and offers encouragement.
- Providing non-medical support - helping an older adult run errands, get to medical appointments, go grocery shopping, etc.
- Sharing hobbies and interests such as playing cards, having a meal, going for a walk or doing a puzzle
- Providing a break for family caregivers
