Our Pinellas County Senior Companions are a dedicated, compassionate group of volunteers who improve the quality of life for older adults through friendship, assistance, and encouragement.
Pinellas Community Foundation is giving seniors the companionship they need for social connection and independence! Homebound elders are at risk of social isolation and loneliness, but having the ongoing support of a caring, compassionate friend helps them continue to live independently. This $40,000 Grant from Pinellas Community Foundation will provide companionship services to 150 seniors in Pinellas County! Our Senior Companion volunteers provide the encouragement and friendship isolated seniors need. Companions visit every week and do activities their client enjoys like listening to music or completing a puzzle together. They also assist with errands and help identify solutions to challenges seniors may be facing that threaten their independence, like meal delivery services, medication adherence, or home safety. Thank you, Pinellas Community Foundation, for helping our community’s seniors stay healthy, happy, and independent.
