Historical May 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The Information and Referral Department of the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging is seeking persons willing to accept employment as care-companions for homebound senior citizens. The agency is attempting to comply with the many requests from older adults or their families seeking the names of available care-companions. According to Sister Ann Roddy, director of the SLAAA referral service, most requests are for persons to do light housekeeping and cooking. However, she said, there are some calls for day or live-in care-companions. The agency, Sister Roddy said, will refer potential care-companions to prospective employers to negotiate salary arrangements.
Persons interested in having their name added to a care-companion list for referral to a prospective employer can contact the SLAAA Information and Referral Department at 622-3760.
