Senior Companion

Are you or a loved one in need of a senior companion?

If you or a loved one is in need of companionship, our Senior Companion Program may be right for you. Our program connects older adults aged 55 and older living at home with a trained peer volunteer who can share a friendly conversation, offer companionship and minimize isolation.

Senior Companion volunteers help their peers with:

  • Running occasional errands
  • Staying engaged in enjoyable activities at home or in the local community
  • Light meal preparation

If you are providing care and assistance for a loved one, this program may provide much needed respite to you and other family members and friends.
