Senior Companion

The Corporation of Ohio Appalachian Development sponsors the Senior Companion Program via the Community Action Committee of Pike County. Volunteer Senior Companions assist elderly persons to remain in their homes. Persons interested in becoming a Senior Companion must meet the Poverty Guidelines of 125%, be 60 years of age or older, be willing to volunteer a minimum of four (4) hours per day, five (5) days per week.

Senior Companion volunteers receive an hourly stipend for their service and are reimbursed for mileage, while earning vacation and sick leave. The stipend is not considered income for any purpose and is non-taxable.

By providing in-home service and companionship, older persons may remain in their own home and avoid the necessity of nursing home or assisted living. Our volunteer services may include sharing a meal, reading, helping with correspondence, shopping, or just listening to the client. No income guidelines are needed to receive services.

For more information or an application, contact the Social Services Office at 740-289-2371 or toll free: 1-866-820-1185 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
