Volunteer Family Companions help relieve the isolation of older adults by providing social contact and friendship to enhance their lives. Family Companions welcome an elder friend into their home as they would any friend, providing him or her with a family-centered environment that can include a meal and other activities based on mutual interests. The time commitment includes face-to-face visits, phone calls letters, cards and travel time. Family Companion Volunteers are thoughtfully matched to elder friends based on interests, personality and location.
