    Description

    Help Seniors Thrive at Home During this Holiday Season!

    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.

    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.

    Visit our website for more information: www.PorchlightFriends.org
