Companion Volunteers provide in-home breaks to caregivers in the form of social visits with their loved one who has Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. Volunteers do not help with any physical or personal care.
Volunteers spend time with individuals who have dementia to provide: companionship - encouraging reminiscing about the past or enjoying a movie together; socialization - engaging in activities such as games, listening to music or gardening; and supervision - ensuring their safety while their caregiver is absent.

Time requirement: Minimum six-month commitment; approximately four hours per week. We are currently looking for volunteers with weekday availability.
