The Social Specialists
for Seniors

Thoughtfully matched companions for older adults across the San Francisco Bay Area, including people living with dementia or memory loss.

Our clients feel calmer, more engaged and more like themselves.

Since our founding in 2009, Engage As You Age has helped older adults build new and meaningful friendships. We work with people living with dementia and Alzheimer's, including early-onset dementia, or who have physical or other cognitive limitations, and their family members. We have paired thousands of seniors with smart, empathetic specialists who share their interests and passions. The result: authentic relationships that improve seniors' quality of life.

​

We know how hard this can be.

When someone you love is isolated, living with memory loss, or just not quite themselves, it's hard to know how to help. We meet them where they are, with someone who shares their interests, so their time together is about what they still enjoy: a walk, a museum, music, a good conversation. Those hours are a real break from what's hard about getting older, for them and for you.

How it works

1. Start with a free call. Tell us about the person you care for: what they love, what has changed and what has been hard lately.

2. Ben meets you both. Our founder, Ben Lewis, gets to know the person and the family, then hand-picks an Activity Specialist who shares their interests.

3. Visits begin. Ben makes the first introduction and stays involved, and you get a short note after every visit.
