Home Instead Senior Care of Bremerton is sponsoring a community service project called “Be a Santa to a Senior.”

The purpose of the program is to positively impact the community by providing Christmas cheer to seniors who are least likely to receive a present during the Christmas season. Many of whom are lonely, financially challenged or in a nursing home and may otherwise not enjoy the Christmas spirit.

Since 2005, Home Instead Senior Care has been providing home care services to local seniors. Staff help them maintain their independence by providing assistance with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, stand-by assistance if unable to walk safely on their own and help with errands and doctors appointments.

To sponsor a senior this holiday season, call (360) 782-4663.
