Loneliness is a serious issue for senior citizens, often stemming from physical or cognitive challenges that hinder their ability to maintain friendships, as well as geographic separation from family. Those who feel isolated face an increased risk of depression, which negatively impacts both mental and physical well-being. Having a companion helps with feelings of loneliness.
Companion Care
Our companion care services are perfect for seniors who need care at home and could benefit from more social interaction. We begin with an in-home evaluation to understand the specific care needs of your loved ones, allowing us to create a customized care plan just for them.
The following are part of our services:
- Personal care: Our caregivers will assist your loved ones with personal care and activities of daily living (ADLs) such as personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, eating, transferring medication reminders, and toileting.
- Meal preparation: Our caregivers can prepare meals for your loved ones and even cook meals with them as a fun activity. We will help with the grocery shopping, prepare and serve the meals, and clean up after.
- Grocery shopping: We can help your loved ones with grocery shopping and any other important errands like prescription pickups and trips to the post office.
- Light housekeeping: We can help your loved ones take care of their home by handling light housekeeping duties such as vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, washing dishes, laundry, and taking out the trash.
- Companionship: Seniors are commonly plagued by loneliness as many have lost their spouse and friends or may live far away from their families. Our caregivers will build a personal relationship with your loved ones and provide meaningful companionship to help stave off loneliness. We get to know your loved ones through friendly conversation, and we will engage them in fun activities.
- Transportation: Our caregivers can provide transportation to help your loved ones visit family and get to doctor appointments. We can also take them on fun outings to a local park or coffee shop.
