Porchlight Friends
Porchlight Friends was born out of the needs of three groups: older adults wanting to remain independent at home, families that struggle to support them, and people looking for ways to connect with and support their communities. Porchlight Friends tackles all three of those components by utilizing community volunteers to support the needs of the older population and their family members. Porchlight Friends companions assist with projects in the home, light housework, and transportation for errands or doctor appointments. Clients also enjoy connection to family and friends, as well as community resources, using the Porchlight Health technology platform. We combine in-person companionship with supported use of the technology so even the most digitally challenged adults can stay connected.
