Pinellas Community Foundation Supports Senior Companion Services
A meaningful connection can change everything. Thanks to support from the Pinellas Community Foundation, Seniors in Service is expanding its Senior Companion Program to reach more homebound seniors in Pinellas County — bringing friendship, encouragement, and greater independence to those who need it most.
Pinellas Community Foundation is providing seniors with 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 participate in activities their clients enjoy, such as listening to music or completing a puzzle together. They also assist with errands and help identify solutions to challenges seniors may face that threaten their independence, such as meal delivery services, medication adherence, or home safety.
Thank you, Pinellas Community Foundation, for helping our community’s seniors stay healthy, happy, and independent.
