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 companions and caregivers.
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
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.
The personal care and companionship that we provide can include the following:
- Personal care: We can help your loved ones with personal care including help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, eating, transferring, personal hygiene, toileting, medication reminders, and more.
- Meal preparation: It is important for seniors to eat regular meals and get the nutrition they need while also following their dietary restrictions. Our caregivers can help prepare meals for your loved ones to ensure that they get regular meals that accommodate their dietary restrictions. We can also prepare your loved one’s favorite meals with them as a fun activity. Our meal prep services include grocery shopping, serving, and cleaning up as well as preparing the meal.
- Grocery shopping: Our caregivers can help with important errands like grocery shopping as well as prescription pickups, making trips to the post office, and any other personal errands that need to be done.
- Light housekeeping: Our caregivers can help your loved ones keep their homes clean and in order by taking care of light housekeeping duties like washing dishes, taking out the trash, vacuuming, making the bed, dusting, laundry, sweeping, and other housekeeping tasks that need to be done.
- Companionship: Loneliness is common among seniors, especially if they have lost their spouse and live far from their families. Our caregivers can help your senior loved ones avoid feelings of loneliness by building a personal relationship with them and providing them with friendly companionship.
- Transportation: If your loved ones do not drive, our caregivers can provide transportation to help them get to doctor appointments, family events, and other important engagements. We can also take your loved ones to the park, a local coffee shop, and other places to relax or engage in fun activities.
