University of the District of Columbia (UDC) Institute of Gerontology: Senior Companion Program

The Senior Companion Program touches the lives of adults who need extra assistance to live independently in their homes and communities. The program serves frail older adults, adults with disabilities, and those with terminal illness. Senior Companions assist their adult clients in basic, but essential ways: by offering companionship and friendship to isolated older adults, assisting with simple chores, providing transportation, and adding richness to their client lives.
