Senior Companion Program
Sponsored by Federation of Organizations
Senior Companions offer support, friendship and non-medical in-home assistance to other seniors who may be frail, isolated, depressed or living alone. Senior Companions also offer respite assistance to caregivers so that they can have much-needed time off to tend to their personal needs. Caregivers have peace of mind while they are out of the home because they know that the assigned companion is providing a safe and secure environment and caring for their loved one.
