Southern Maryland Tri-County Community Action Committee, Inc. is currently seeking Senior Companions for Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's counties.
Senior Companions are healthy older adults who help other adults live independently. Senior Companions provide support to family caregivers. They assist with grocery shopping, and other daily tasks necessary to maintaining independence. Without the help of Senior Companions, many older adults would not be able to continue living at home and would need more expensive, less personal care.
Some of the benefits include; pre-service and on-going training, an annual physical examination (FREE), supplemental insurance, help with meal and transportation costs, a small stipend for those who qualify, and the joy of helping others live on their own.
Do you qualify?
Senior Companions:
-are over 60 years of age
-can volunteer at least 20 hours/week
-have a limited income
-love to help their neighbors
If you are interested, please call 410-535-0817 or e-mail hkessler@smtccac.org
