Warminster veteran Barry Platt, who lives with Alzheimer’s, is enjoying the benefits of Seniors Helping Seniors, writes Matteo Iadonisi for 6 ABC.  

Several years after his diagnosis, Barry’s wife Barbara contacted the organization, which provides professional in-home services and companions.  

“After a few years I decided to need to have some help,” she says.  

The nearly 90-year-old Warminster resident now has a friend, Dan, to go to the diner, movies, and other enjoyable activities.  

“It gives him the opportunity to go out and do things, with another person besides me,” she said.
