Companion Care
For seniors who are generally healthy and want to remain independent at home, companion home care is an option.
Companion care is primarily emotional support and companionship while possibly ranging from non-medical services that can help make your loved one’s life more enjoyable. Services might include assistance with activities of daily living, reminders such as to take medication, and more.
Trust that our senior companion care focuses on delivering an experience to relieve feelings of isolation.
What is Companion Care?
At the core, companion care is just as the name implies, companionship and someone to share experiences and personal stories with. A personal link like this can be crucial for those seniors who choose to live alone and independent in their own homes.
Seniors who engage in conversation and play games (scrabble, backgammon, cards, etc.) are keeping an edge on their mental acuity. Studies do show that these kinds of stimulation can help delay the effects of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Elderly companion care services can include activities like meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, shopping, and most importantly, companionship. If your loved one enjoys their independence but could use help with everyday tasks, then elderly companion care services is the solution.
Our 1776 certified caregivers manage daily tasks and duties while providing a caring hand. Everyone needs companionship, and a helping hand every once-in-awhile. Unfortunately, these needs are magnified for elderly adults. Seniors today struggle with loneliness and isolation, a condition strongly linked to low physical and emotional health. Seniors have to cope with age-related difficulties, which make it difficult to perform daily tasks and everyday duties like before.
At 1776, we offer companionship care plans that provide the social interaction and helping hand that many seniors need in order to continue to live happy lives comfortably at home.
Who Companion Care is For?
For elderly adults who live alone or far from family, companion care is perfect for the elderly who need some basic form of assistance. These services can be a lifeline for those who no longer have the motivation, energy, or physical well-being to live independently. However, companion care isn’t just beneficial for the elderly. Family caregivers can be given much-needed respite from this type of care. By hiring a care companion, the benefits are more than just for the client.
