Volunteers sought for senior companion team RDN REPORTS The Phelps County Senior Companion Program is seeking volunteers for the program. The program provides meaningful retirement opportunities for people 55 years old and older by assisting other adults and seniors who need person to person support due to loneliness, illness or disability. The program seeks to touch the lives of adults who need extra assistance to live independently in their homes or communities, and serve frail older adults, adults with disabilities, those with terminal illness and offer respite for caregivers. Senior companions assist adult clients in basic but essential ways — offering companionship and friendship, isolated and frail adults, providing transportation and adding richness to their client’s lives.
