Full Resource Name:
DR. PIPER CENTER - SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM
Address
2607 Dr. Ella Piper Way
Fort Myers, FL 33916
(239) 332-5346
Description:
Provides meaningful and challenging volunteer opportunities for low-income seniors. They serve the frail elderly individuals especially those who are homebound and generally living alone, as well as providing respite care to relieve live-in caretakers for short periods of time.
Taking care of simple chores, running errands, encouragement to remain active, transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping, a watchful eye to notice when they need extra care and offering a connection with the outside world are often the essential services that keep older adults from premature institutionalization. The service the Senior Companions provide helps frail elderly clients live independently in their homes instead of moving into expensive institutional care.
