My APIC experience
Testimony from senior participants
"It helps us escape our solitude. We're happy when we see our companion; it's nice because we feel like they're trying to help us."
"When I talk to her, it makes me feel good, because I'm always alone. I was used to not talking, but now I like talking."
"It's a good deal. Having visitors is more intimate than sitting outside with several people. We can talk more freely."
Testimonials from volunteer escorts
"I find APIC very positive because it allows for real flexibility with the individual, and it removes the institutional aspect. It becomes a real human relationship, almost friendly."
"With the person I'm supporting, it's not even volunteering anymore: she's someone I respect enormously."
"The project is truly beneficial. It allowed me to build a lasting bond of trust, while respecting the individual's needs and pace."
Testimony from the APIC confinement coordinator:
"What makes APIC so strong is its flexibility and adaptability. This helps build a real relationship of trust and supports the autonomy of seniors."
“APIC responds to needs by helping to break isolation and offering human, personalized and meaningful support.”
