“Our Senior Companions offer a priceless gift –the gift of their time and friendship. To see just how many hours they put in, really puts things into perspective. Our clients are grateful for the services we provide, and the program gives our Senior Companions an opportunity to remain active and give back. The entire community benefits from their hard work.” - Penny Fox, Program Manager
“My life is enhanced by my Senior Companions. I enjoy their friendship as well as companionship. And it takes a lot of stress from my family, knowing that I have this help with my daily needs since I’m living alone in my home.
“I don’t drive and I have no family members living in the Waterloo area. I live alone and also enjoy getting out once in a while and having someone to talk to.”
“My companion is happy and always smiling. It makes me feel happy. We play card games to help pass away the lonely hours.”
“We like our Senior Companion very much. She is so nice and easy to be with and we are thankful for her. We are 90 and 86 years old. My husband has Parkinson’s. I have macular degeneration, so she is a real gift to us and we thank you so much.”
