Become a Client

Interested in becoming a client? Are you in need of someone to come into your home and provide some additional support?

The Senior Companion Program is a free program for adults who are over the age of 21 and live alone and/or are at risk of being institutionalized.
 

Who may be a client?

• Clients may have just been discharged from an acute care hospital or a long term care facility and need assistance in adjusting to independent living again.
• Clients may have caregivers who need respite to prevent a breakdown in household capability.
• Clients may have loneliness, depression, or may be physically frail.
• Clients may be terminally ill and need additional support to maintain dignity and independent living.
Many of our client referrals come from home health care agencies, acute and long term care facilities, family members and concerned neighbors.

Who can not be a client?

• Individuals who are not orientated to person, place or time that do not have a full time caregiver,
• Individuals who are physically or verbally abusive,
• Individuals not capable of self-preservation in an emergency and/or have an unsafe home environment,
• Individuals actively abusing alcohol or drugs.

If you are interested in becoming a client, contact either your home health care agency, social worker, or the Senior Companion Program at 712-476-2628.
