AmeriCorps Senior Companions (Must be 55+) offer one-on-one services to those who have difficulty completing everyday tasks. They can assist with:

  • grocery shopping and paying bills
  • transportation to medical appointments
  • alerting doctors and family members to potential health problems, and
  • Companionship in the home

Senior Companions can also provide short periods of relief to primary caregivers. Because of this program, thousands of residents can live with dignity in their own homes.

For their service, Senior Companions receive a $4.00 an hour (tax-free) stipend and reimbursement for:

  • transportation
  • some meals, and
  • accident and liability insurance during service.
*Must be a Boston resident*
