Senior
Companion Program
The Senior Companion Program matches relatively healthy seniors
(aged 60 and older) to frail, homebound elderly or disabled adults.
The purpose of the program is to help clients retain their
independence for as long as possible, rather than being moved to a
nursing home or assisted living facility.
Senior Companions visit the homebound elderly in their homes.
They help by:
·
providing caring friendship;
·
assisting with simple chores;
·
helping with tasks of daily living, such as grocery shopping;
·
serving as a watchful eye to notice when their client needs extra
care; and
·
adding richness to the lives of those who otherwise are isolated and
lonely.
