Senior Companions (aka companions for the elderly)

Helping Adults Remain Independent, Senior Companions touch the lives of adults who need extra assistance to live independently in their own homes or communities. They serve frail older adults, adults with disabilities, those with terminal illnesses, and offer respite for caregivers. They assist their employers in basic but essential ways: Offering companionship and friendship to isolated and frail adults, assisting with simple chores, providing transportation, adding richness to their lives. Senior Companions are mature individuals who can help adults with special needs remain independent.
