Caregiver Companion Testimonials

As a volunteer, Marge works closely with families whose lives are directly impacted by the needs of a disabled family member. She says her most rewarding experiences come on days when she relieves a weary caregiver who seldom has time for herself. She says, “I enjoy the people; I enjoy being with them and helping them in anyway they need.”

While reading the Community Connection Directory for the West Lafayette area, Beverly stumbled across an advertisement for Caregiver Companion. For the last three years volunteers have assisted Beverly in caring for her mother. She really is pleased not only for the help but also for Caregiver Companions efforts to find suitable matches between volunteers and neighbors. “The people are genuinely concerned about giving the neighbors what they need and when they need it.” ~Beverly Erdie

As a volunteer for about 3 years now, Lucille has been happily helping people through the Caregiver Companion organization. She does mainly respite care for them; visiting and sitting with people while their caregiver gets a break. In referring to Caregiver Companion she said, “They are very beneficial for the people who need help. They fill the gap that Social Services can’t take care of.”
