Be a Champion
Being a Companion at Selis Manor gives you the opportunity to make a new friend while helping a resident live an independent life. Companions help residents with daily tasks such as:
- Reading mail, emails, and other materials to residents
- Running errands
- Helping out around the house
- Going for a walk and having a conversation
Share your talents and passions with our residents. You get to do what you love, and they learn to love something new! We’re always open to new ideas, so here are some general ideas to get you started:
- Teach a class
- Help with paperwork
- Plan entertainment
Help Around the Manor
