Senior Companion Program (SCP) offers support to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities in Clackamas County. Our program helps individuals live independently and safely for as long as possible, feel connected and avoid having to move from what is familiar to them. Our trained Senior Companion volunteers meet one-on-one with older adults, or those with disabilities, usually 1-2 times a week. Individuals receiving these visits often need transportation support, feel disconnected from the outside community and isolated which can be devastating on a person’s physical and mental health.
Our dedicated volunteers offer friendship, support, and a sympathetic ear. Activities can include visiting, going to an activity at a senior center, go grocery shopping together, go to a movie, out for a coffee, help with small tasks at home, play a game, visit the library, go to a park, and so on. The program’s goal is to assist seniors so they can remain living safely in their home, feel connected and avoid having to move from what is familiar to them.
There is no charge for service, but donations are always welcomed!
