A Sierra Vista program is not only providing care for seniors but also giving other older adults an opportunity to stay employed. The Seniors Helping Seniors program pairs caregivers over the age of 60 with other seniors in need of care and companionship, creating a sense of community across southern Arizona.

'We focus on hiring baby boomers or those who have retired from their careers and want to do something meaningful,' said Cameron Schipul, owner of Seniors Helping Seniors of Southern Arizona. 'Our caregivers want the relationship. They’re looking to make an impact and have value.'The program has also made a difference for recipients like Sharron Godbois, who said having a caregiver close in age helps her feel less isolated.
