Caring Companions

Caring Companions

Caring Companions is a volunteer based program of Area 10 Agency on Aging and is committed to helping seniors in Monroe and Owen Counties live healthy, happy lives and to remain independent for as long as possible. We thoughtfully match volunteers with “neighbors” who desire assistance. Our Companions choose the services they offer, and our neighbors select from a variety of those services:

  • Friendly visiting
  • Shopping assistance
  • Telephone reassurance
  • Light housekeeping
  • Running errands
  • Gardening & yard work
  • Sharing interests/hobbies
  • Light meal preparation
  • House plant care
  • Pet care / dog walking
  • Safety education
  • Mental stimulation
  • & much more!
