Companion Services for Older Adults  

LSS Companion Services provide customized support, transportation and friendship for older adults who want to live at home, stay healthy and remain as independent as possible.

Senior Companion

Our Senior Companion service is available to qualifying older adults across Minnesota and North Dakota. Trained volunteers visit older adults each week and offer friendship, support at their homes and transportation to community activities.  

Funding for Senior Companion is provided by the AmeriCorps Seniors, Minnesota Board on Aging, UCare, United Way, and community agencies through their partnership with Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.  

Neighbor to Neighbor Companions

Through this service, trained Neighbor to Neighbor Companions provide weekly in-home visits offering older adults assistance with daily activities, transportation, friendship, and being an ongoing resource.

Partner With LSS AmeriCorps Seniors

LSS partners with AmeriCorps Seniors, a national service agency, to connect volunteers, age 55 and older, with the people and organizations that need them. We partner with other local nonprofits to create meaningful opportunities for older Minnesotans to use their talents, stay active and earn extra income. We invite your organization to partner with us to support older adults through our Senior Companion service or children and youth through Foster Grandparent service.
