The Senior Companions Program is a volunteer program that provides companionship and respite care to the elderly and disabled. Sponsored by Panhandle Health District, it serves the five northern counties: Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone.

Senior Companions visit clients in their homes, but it is not an in-home care program. We are always seeking volunteers to assist with companionship for this fun and rewarding program!

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) seniors have unique needs and face unique challenges. A perceived lack of resources and understanding among Senior Care Providers can be very frustrating for LGBT seniors, in many cases forcing them to conceal who they are, often leading to a decrease in their quality of life.

LGBT older people live in every region of our country, from urban neighborhoods to rural counties—and everywhere in between. Find local groups that provide services and programs to LGBT older people through SAGENet, our national affiliate program.
LGBT organizations that serve older people could benefit from joining SAGENet. Together, we exchange ideas, explore public policy changes, and inspire each other to better support and empower older LGBT people everywhere.
