By becoming a companion to a frail person, you help that person stay in their own home. Whether you're giving families or professional caregivers much-needed time off, running errands, or simply being a friend, you'll make a difference that strengthens and helps preserve an individual's independence. And you'll join with thousands of others to help control the rising costs of health care.
