The Lambda Retirement Community, also known as Lambda Community, is a non-profit struggling to deal with the broad issues of how to support those elders who are diverse members of our society. Our current efforts (2014/15) involve the training and placement of Elder Companions. Many elders enjoy and benefit from companionship that may range from a weekly coffee chat to live-in care. Training provided by Lambda helps the Companion deal with issues that range from simple listening skills to household management. Training for Elder Companions assumes that benefits accrue to both the Companion and the Elder through informed roles. Training for Elders presumes that our oldest seniors can learn how to listen and improve communication skills.
