About Companions
Loneliness is one of the most overlooked challenges older adults face.
While families do their best, distance, work, and daily life often make consistent connection difficult.
Companions was created to provide something simple and powerful: reliable, meaningful conversation.
We intentionally match older adults with carefully selected younger adults — often students and early-career professionals — who show up consistently at the same time each week, building trust and real connection over time.
Conversations can take place by phone or video call, depending on comfort and preference.
We are not a medical service.
We are not a wellness check.
We are not an AI tool.
We are real people having real conversations.
Meet the Founder
Hi everyone,
I’m Daniel Cohen, a junior at The College of New Jersey and someone who has always been passionate about making a difference.
The inspiration behind Companions comes from my grandfather. He has always supported and encouraged me throughout my life and has been a constant light for our family. However, as he has gotten older—he is currently 92 at the time Companions is founded—he has lost almost every peer he once had. While he has a loving and supportive family, he still spends a lot of time alone.
Like many older adults, he has an incredible wealth of knowledge, life experience, and stories to share. But as people age, opportunities for regular conversation and social connection often become limited. Loneliness among seniors is far more common than many people realize, even for those surrounded by family.
Companions was created to help solve this problem by providing consistent companionship for seniors through weekly conversations with carefully matched companions. Our goal is simple: to give older adults someone they genuinely enjoy talking with—someone who shares their interests, listens to their stories, and gives them something to look forward to every week.
If you have a parent, grandparent, or loved one experiencing loneliness, Companions provides a trusted companionship service designed to bring connection, conversation, and comfort back into their weekly routine.
