Senior Companion Friendship
Rosie Dockery and Client
Senior Companions - Berrien County
Congressman Fred Upton visited the home of one of our Senior Companion clients along with the volunteer. Rosie has been visiting "Ethel" since last Spring. Ethel's daughter is her caregiver and lives close by. She is a caring daughter and is especially concerned that her mother will fall. Ethel loves to walk outside and Rosie accompanies her on walks on the block in front of her home. Rosie holds Ethel's hand and watches her carefully. Rosie has become Ethel's good friend and is above all patient with Ethel. Ethel uses the walker when Rosie isn't there but appreciates so much the moments of independence she has on her neighborhood walks.
