Benefits of our Senior Buddy Program

What our partner facilities are saying about StudentsCare…

“They [StudentsCare Buddies] are amazing in the way they work with our residents during activities helping them be able to enjoy all activities with a much lower level of stress they bring comfort. The residents really enjoy having the volunteers around. The change in energy is noticeable and the residents seem much more engaged.”
Susan S. Bailis Assisted Living Community, Boston, MA
“[StudentsCare Buddies] bring additional care to our residents with quality activities. They are great assistance to the Social Services Department. Resident’s spirits are up and more inclined to participate in activities.”
Residential Plaza Blue Lagoon, Miami FL
“StudentsCare Volunteers are so talented, with an education that allows them to support and interact with our residents on a whole new level. With so many residents, it is difficult for us to have constant one on one interactions with seniors. That’s where the StudentsCare program has been so beneficial because volunteers enable us to provide the personal care that seniors need.”

"Much appreciated! Words cannot express how much we appreciate the donations and the time.”

“StudentsCare Buddies give more time to our residents when I can’t.”

“StudentsCare Buddies are a blessing to the older adults of Miami-Dade County.The motivation of your dedicated volunteers to provide the assistance needed by the homebound clients of UHC, from the moment they come to the office, experience the needs, and get involved with our clients, they are true professionals in the field of Aging. I call that COMPASSION!”
United HomeCare, Miami FL
"A resident was reported as having a very severe depression, confused, at times not answering the phone, not wanting to talk. Thanks to his StudentsCare Buddy he now feels so different. He called me and his voice totally different, excited, energetic, happy. He said this was thanks to his StudentsCare Buddy, Daniela- his ‘angel’"
