Importance of Senior Companionship


Compounded by loss and socialization barriers, seniors are at a higher risk of loneliness and social isolation. Companion care can help combat this to help seniors maintain their independence and improve quality of life. The many benefits to senior companionship include:

  • Socialization: Your loved one will have someone to talk to and spend time with.

  • Assistance with daily tasks: Many seniors may have difficulty with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping. A companion can help with these tasks and make it easier for seniors to continue living independently.

  • Safety: Whether if it is reminding your loved one to take their medication or help them navigate their home, a companion can be a valuable resource to keep them safe.

  • Transportation: A companion can provide transportation to appointments, social events, and other activities.

  • In-Home Care: Seniors can age in their own homes while receiving care and attention.

Our Home Care Aides are trained companions that can provide more specialized care, such as for seniors with dementia or other conditions. Choosing the right companion for your loved one is important. That is why we screen our Home Care Aides based on similar personalities and interests to pair the right one for you.
