Description
The Porchlight Friends services focus on combatting the loneliness and isolation that so many of our older community members are experiencing. We want to surround them with in-person companionship and safe, secure online connections with family, friends and community resources.
Our in-person companionship visits last about 2 hours and we assist with projects in the home, light housework, food prep, as well as rides for doctor appointments and errands to the store/bank/pharmacy/etc. Clients also enjoy easy connection to family, friends, and community services using the Porchlight Health platform.
