| The Senior Companion Program places low income persons, age 60 and older, in the homes of adults, usually frail elderly adults, to provide services which will allow clients to remain independent. Companions fix meals, do light housework, accompany clients to the doctor and grocery stores and provide companionship to older individuals who are isolated because of frailty, illness or disability. Senior Companions volunteer 20 hours a week and receive a stipend of $2.25 and hour to help pay for the expenses associated with volunteering. |
