Senior Companion
Are you in need of companionship?
Would you like a friend to talk to who helps keep you independent?
The Senior Companion Program connects lonely seniors with other seniors who want to share their time, experience, and compassion!
Senior Companions are not caregivers, they are trained companions who can help relieve some caregiver/family member responsibilities, such as running errands, going shopping, reading together, enjoying games, or by becoming a good friend. Senior Companions serve up to 40 hours a week, completely free to the client, and have a variety of skills to help their client live productive meaningful lives!
If you are interested in connecting with a Senior Companion, please call 559-846-9329.
