Senior Companion volunteers work one-on-one with the homebound frail elderly and assist clients with paying bills, grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, and light housekeeping, and, most importantly, they develop friendships with their clients. The assistance Senior Companions provide their clients oftentimes allow recipients to stay at home rather than being institutionalized, resulting in major health care cost-savings for seniors, their families, and communities.
