About Senior Companion

Senior Companions enrich the lives of those they serve.  It may be just a few hours of reminiscing, sharing a cup of coffee, a trip to the grocery store, finding needed resources for their clients, playing cards, games or allowing the caregiver a few hours of much needed respite.  These simple acts will help their clients achieve and maintain their highest level of independent living.

Senior Companion requirements are that you are at least 55 years of age, meet income eligibility and willing to serve 15 hours a week.  No other experience or educational requirements are needed to become a Senior Companion Volunteer.

Following 40 hours of orientation training, Senior Companions are assigned to adults with special or exceptional needs.  These assignments may be in-home, respite centers, nursing homes, adult foster care homes or adult day care centers.
