Age 21 or older? Elder Friends objective is to provide volunteer based companionship and minor assistance to homebound seniors living in San Antonio. Often times, seniors can lose their independence when they are no longer able to live in their home. Being home alone can lead to isolation and depression, which is a major concern at such a frail age. Elder Friends helps to alleviate concerns by visiting a homebound senior at least 3 hours per week to provide much-needed support. Just a simple conversation can make all the difference to a homebound senior.
