The Senior Companion Program: Serving Carteret, Craven, Jones, Lenoir and Pamlico County

Through the efforts of our volunteers in the Senior Companion Program in-home services to the elderly and handicapped are provided, allowing them to remain independent later in life. Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) funds focus or providing periods of relief for primary caregivers of homebound individuals. The Senior Companion volunteers are adults, 60 and older, who provide support to family caregivers and homebound frail, elderly and/or disabled.  They assist with daily tasks necessary to maintain independence, and caregivers with much-needed respite.  Senior companions receive a small stipend ($2.65/hr), a physical exam, and as funds allow transportation costs to/from the work station.
