| Older adult volunteers provide companionship and assistance to other older adults who are often lonely and isolated. Volunteers receive a stipend for their services.
They help their peers with:
- Shopping
- Managing their household
- Light meal preparation
- Sharing a friendly conversation
Companions also serve in adult care homes, senior centers, senior housing complexes, and provide respite for caregivers. As a Senior Companion, you:
- Must be 60 years of age or over
- May be eligible for a stipend, reimbursement for transportation and meals, on-duty insurance and an annual physical exam if your income is within the Program's guidelines
- Must work 10 to 20 hours a week
