Senior Care Services of Greater Princeton

One of the greatest challenges the home-bound elderly face is coping with loneliness. Senior Care Services of Greater Princeton pairs a volunteer with a home-bound client. The volunteer contacts the client and schedules a home visit at a mutually agreeable time.

Senior Care Services of Greater Princeton provides food shopping services to seniors 65 and over who live within a ten-mile radius of Princeton. Typically, a volunteer shops for a client, but if a client wishes to go to the supermarket, this service is also provided, subject to the availability of a volunteer.

Senior Care Services of Greater Princeton provides rides to medical-related appointments for seniors 65 and over who live within a ten-mile radius of Princeton. These include appointments with doctors and dentists as well as for physical therapy, dialysis and diagnostic testing. These must be located within the ten-mile radius as well.

We are always looking for help! SCSGP pairs people from all walks of life with senior citizens in our area for transportation to health and medical-related appointments, food shopping, and/or friendly visits.

Our volunteers are a diverse group: many work full-time; others are college students and professors; some are parents with young children; others are grandparents and retirees. All are united by the passion to help their neighbors age gracefully in the comfort of their own homes. Without these generous individuals, Senior Care Services would not be able to fulfill its vital mission.

Volunteer opportunities are VERY flexible – some volunteers serve once a week, others once a month. You volunteer based on YOUR schedule. Volunteers must be 18 or older and are required to attend a one-hour training session in our office in Princeton at a convenient time for the volunteer. In addition, they must have a valid driver’s license, up-to-date auto insurance and pass a background check.
