Assist Homebound Elderly and Provide Respite to Families

801.468.2776

A Senior Companion volunteer spends time with a homebound friend.

The Senior Companion Program provides an opportunity for low-income seniors to earn a small, tax-free stipend of $2.65 per hour while helping other seniors maintain their independence and providing respite to caregivers. They serve 20 hours per week and assist the elderly with light housekeeping, meal preparation, socialization, rides to doctor appointments and other essential needs.

The Senior Companion Program is made possible by a federal grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service and is sponsored by Salt Lake County Aging Services.
