Henry Street Settlement opens doors of opportunity for Lower East Side residents and other New Yorkers through social service, arts, and health care programs.
Senior Companions are healthy older adults who volunteer to assist homebound or isolated fellow seniors, enabling them to live independently. Volunteers are matched with a client for regular weekly scheduled companionship services. These services include friendly visiting, shopping assistance, escort to a doctor’s appointment or other community activity, help with obtaining services such as Access-a-Ride or meals on wheels, and most importantly, friendship and companionship.
If you are interested in becoming a Senior Companion please contact Rachel Hughes at Rhughes@henrystreet.org
