Senior Corps – Senior Companion of the Year – Senior Companions are volunteers age 55 and over who make a difference by providing assistance and friendship to adults who have difficulty with daily living tasks, such as shopping or paying bills.
Rosealee Maxey is always there for the seniors she serves in her Hampton Roads senior apartment complex — coordinating activities and meals for the residents, providing transportation to doctor’s appointments, taking her clients out for manicures and pedicures, and even traveling to the hospital daily when one of her clients became ill.
