Becoming a Senior Companion
If you’re 55 or older and want to share your experience and compassion, then you have what it takes to be a Senior Companion. Whether you’re giving families much needed time off, running errands, or simply being a friend, you’ll make a difference that strengthens and helps preserve an individual’s independence. Senior Companions serve 5-40 hours per week and qualify to earn tax-free hourly, meal, and mileage stipends that help support them with items such as utility bills, medication, and transportation. As a Senior Companion, you’ll also attend an orientation and monthly training.
