Senior Companion
Program |
 |
| Persons 55 years of
age and older who meet income guidelines are wanted to volunteer for the Senior
Companion Program. Earn a modest allowance and reimbursement for transportation,
meals, on - duty insurance, and the opportunity to meet and make new friends by
volunteering your time 20 hours a week - 4 hours a day, five days or 5 hours a
day for 4 days a week.
|
| This program is a
service initiative through which people age 55 and older provide assistance and
friendship to elderly individuals who are homebound and, generally, living
alone. By taking care of simple chores, providing transportation to medical
appointments and offering contact with the outside world. Senior
Companions often provide services - at no cost - that other elderly need in
order to live independently. The Senior Companion Program is based on the
simple idea that the best way to help people is help them help each other.
