Helping Companions

Become a companion

Share your time. Brighten someone’s day.

Enjoy conversation, walks, gardening, games or helping someone put old family photos into an album? Share your interests and availability to offer friendly, non-romantic companionship to an older adult. We interview every applicant by video before arranging an introduction.

The heart of Helping Companions

A community built around meaningful time.

Clients and companions come together with a shared wish: to connect and spend meaningful time together. A conversation, a shared interest or a familiar face can make all the difference.

Every client and every companion is vetted for community fit. We review each profile and meet each person by video before an introduction. We discuss expectations, interests and respect for boundaries to understand whether our community is right for both people. Submitting a form does not guarantee acceptance or a match.
