Loneliness is very common among senior citizens as they may live far from their families and physical and cognitive limitations can make it difficult to keep friendships. Seniors who experience loneliness are at greater risk of depression which can be a detriment to their mental and physical health. At Assisting Hands, we can help seniors avoid loneliness by being their social companion as well as their caregiver.
Our caregivers will provide tailored personal care to assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) and tend to their unique care needs. We also provide them with genuine companionship by building personal relationships through friendly conversation and fun activities. The companionship from our caregivers will further enrich the lives of your loved ones and help them avoid feelings of loneliness.
Companion Care for Seniors
Our companion care services are ideal for seniors who need care and assistance to live safely at home and who could benefit from more socialization in their lives. We start our care services with an in-home evaluation to determine the care needs of your loved ones so we can create a tailored care plan. Our caregivers will provide quality, compassionate care to accommodate their care needs while also getting to know them personally to be their friend and companion.
Many seniors who have chosen to age in place need some level of care to live at home safely. It is also beneficial for their mental and emotional health to experience companionship, whether from family and friends or from a trusted caregiver. Our caregivers will get to know your loved ones on a personal level and build a relationship with them by engaging in friendly conversation and their favorite activities. You can trust our caregivers to treat your loved ones with compassion and respect as each of our caregivers has passed a background check and completed training.
