The Senior Companion Program (SCP) provides people age 60 and older the opportunity to provide assistance and friendship to elderly persons who are homebound and often living alone.

By helping with simple chores, providing transportation to appointments, monitoring medication, providing respite care, and offering contact to the outside world, Senior Companions often provide the services that frail elderly need to live independently.

Services are provided at no cost to the recipient.
