Senior Companion Program

PCA’s Senior Companion Program is a person-to-person service program for older adults. Through the program, companions age 55-plus are paired with homebound, isolated older adults who need some assistance to remain in their homes. Companions provide socialization and assist with daily tasks, including light meal prep, running errands and accompanying participants to medical appointments.
