Senior Buddy Program

Our Senior Buddy Program fosters meaningful intergenerational connections by pairing college students with older adults in assisted living facilities and community centers. Through this program, we help reduce social isolation and loneliness, improving the overall wellbeing of the residents and the community.
Our proven buddy program model improves resident satisfaction, mental health, and overall well-being.
We can also provide training to your existing volunteer base, covering topics such as understanding eldercare, ageism and biases, and how to best provide and promote compassionate care.

At StudentsCare, we believe in fostering vibrant and engaging communities for older adults through our group activities. Our carefully curated activities offer a wide range of opportunities for social interaction, mental stimulation, and physical well-being.
Our events and are designed to cater to the unique interests and abilities of older adults, all while building strong intergenerational connections.
Past events have included karaoke, art classes, craft activities, holiday celebrations, a “senior” prom, among many other engaging activities.
