Senior Companion Program
The Senior Companion Program is a community service whereby senior volunteers assist homebound seniors by providing companionship, in-home services, and respite. Senior Companions help with simple chores, monitor medications, and transport clients to appointments in order to allow frail elders to live independently at no cost to the client or family caregiver.
- Seniors who qualify to receive Senior Companion services are 55 years of age or older and homebound.
- Homebound seniors, unpaid family caregivers and local social service agencies, home health agencies, and medical offices can access services by reaching the Program's Case Coordinator.
- Senior Companions served Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Grant funding allows for volunteer stipends, mileage to and from the clients' homes and meals while serving during mealtime(s).
- The Senior Companion Program is sponsored by the Corporation for National & Community Services.
- The Mental Health Association has been recognized for its success by the Senior Corps Division of the Corporation.
- For more information please call Ext. 521 or Ext. 522.
