Senior Companions" are stipend limited
income persons age 60 or older. SCPs may receive travel and meal
assistance and are covered for accident or injury through a
comprehensive insurance program. SCPs serve other adults needing
special attention and support while remaining in their own home,
thus preventing institutionalization and thus saving the families
and federal/state budgets. SCPs assist their adult "clients"
independent living in a variety of supportive ways. SCPs are not
maids or medical care professionals. SCPs do however, work in tandem
with health care professionals and social service agencies to
fulfill care plans for clients. Clients also enjoy the personal
satisfaction of their own home, a greater sense of independence,
continued purpose, and a deep sense of maintained dignity. Other
household caretakers, when present, also benefit from SCPs providing
them respite from those responsibilities. SCP coordinates with GRITS
