About Us
We have a long track record of improving Bay Area seniors' quality of life.
Engage As You Age is the preeminent social interaction service provider in Northern California. Since 2009, we have facilitated social engagement and learning for thousands of elderly individuals.
As an auxiliary service to physical care, our social visits stimulate and enhance cognitive and social interactions while giving immediate family members some welcome respite from continuing care responsibilities. We are not a home care agency and do not provide medical or personal care.
Our Founder, Ben Lewis
Ben Lewis is an expert on the subject of aging in place and technologies that keep families connected. He has been a featured guest on the CBS show “Start-Up Spotlight” and as an “Aging Innovator” on GilbertGuide.com. Before founding Engage As You Age, Ben worked as a teacher and as a volunteer in India, Zimbabwe, Taiwan and Bethesda, Maryland. He also has held a variety of managerial positions in the educational, telecommunications and Internet industries. He graduated summa cum laude from Washington University and has an MA in History from Yale University.
Ben personally meets with each and every family with whom we work and is the final interview for any prospective employees. He genuinely likes the staff that he hires and enjoys the work most when he sees its benefits firsthand.
Ben lives in San Francisco with his son and two dogs.
