The Senior Companion program assists older adults to maximize, maintain, or regain their independence.

Description:
Our volunteers spend 15+ hours a week visiting senior adults to involve them in fun, educational, and companionable activities to improve quality of life. Volunteers do not perform activities usually done by doctors, nurses, therapists, or other medical professionals or provide personal care.
