Study Summary
This trial examines the effectiveness of having a weekly companion visit seniors in their homes to help with things like meals, transportation, and socialization.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for seniors who are isolated, lack social support, or whose caregivers need a break. To join, they must be at least 21+ or 65+ years old depending on the agency's rules and need help to keep living at home safely. It's not for those under age limits or in unsafe home conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Senior Companion Programs (SCP), where volunteers visit and assist with tasks like meals and housekeeping, can improve well-being and help seniors live independently at home instead of moving to assisted facilities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves social support rather than medical treatment, there aren't typical side effects. However, participants may experience changes in mood or behavior due to increased social interaction.
