We connect you with a trusted local UCSB student who can help.
A student comes to you at home or helps over the phone — whatever works best.
Everyday tasks that make life a little easier.
Phone setup, app help, passwords, FaceTime, photos, email, playlists, and smart TV support.
Help with shopping, picking up prescriptions, post office trips, or other light errands.
A friendly student visit — conversation, a walk, or just pleasant company for the afternoon.
Moving boxes, light lifting, hanging pictures, bringing in groceries, or other small physical tasks.
Sorting mail, decluttering a room, organizing files, or tackling a pile that's been waiting.
Anything else non-medical that would make daily life more comfortable and manageable.
Good for seniors, good for students, good for the community.
Reliable, friendly help without the feel of hiring a big company. Support that fits your needs and your pace.
Meaningful work and real community connection — not just a gig, but a chance to make a genuine difference.
Peace of mind knowing your loved one has a trusted extra set of hands when you can't be there.
No rigid packages. Help is shaped around what the senior actually needs, on their timeline.

I feel like I learned a few things I can actually do by myself next time. That's pretty amazing. It was a pleasure getting to know you.
He thought you were both super guys, and I'm sure more things will come up. Good job, glad it worked out.
