Companionship Volunteer with Seniors
ORGANIZATION: Silver Key Senior Services
Please visit the new page to apply.
Silver Key Senior Services has been serving seniors in the Pikes Peak region for over 53 years. We are seeking caring and supportive long-term companionship volunteers to visit the homes of local seniors to provide that social connectivity they are seeking for appointments, errands, social outings, and home visits on the south end of Colorado Springs.
Ensure regular documentation of the visit with the senior, maintain confidentiality, participate in education and training classes. Looking for individuals with the sensitivity and understanding of seniors to glean and simulate information from observation. Establish good boundaries and ability to set appropriate limits.
Schedule is pretty flexible with 1-2 hours shift each week around the client's needs. Will be subject to a background check, drug test, and MVR check since you will drive you own vehicle to the home of clients.
