    Description

    Volunteer with an Older Adult and Create some Holiday Memories!

    Porchlight Friends offers companionship visits, lasting 2 hours, to assist older adults in their homes and to provide caregiver respite to those caring for older adults. Our companions assist with projects in the home, they help with light housework and can provide rides for doctor appointments and errands to the store/bank/pharmacy. We also provide respite care to those that are caring for an older loved one, giving them peace of mind while they enjoy some time for themselves.

    Our companions provide face-to-face interactions to help battle the loneliness and isolation felt by so many of our older community members.

    With the Porchlight Health platform, companions can collect meaningful information that helps Porchlight Friends stay data-driven while remaining centered on providing personal companionship and in-home social support.
