If your elderly loved one requires daily assistance that doesn’t necessitate medical intervention, companion home caregivers could be an ideal solution. Their training allows them to provide hands-off activities and social interactions designed to combat isolation that may otherwise contribute to poor health outcomes.

They Give Your Loved One a Sense of Security
Companion care providers provide structure and a schedule to reduce stress for their clients while helping with tasks such as running errands or housekeeping so that they feel more independent.
Companion care services help aging adults remain connected with their communities. Many seniors who no longer drive are unable to attend social events, community gatherings, or volunteer activities due to transportation limitations; companion care offers transportation services that allow these individuals to pursue their hobbies and interests.
Family members seeking the ideal home caregiver for their loved one’s needs may face difficulty in selecting an individual to fill this role. Our Select Your Caregiver program makes this task easier while our comprehensive background checks ensure only quality companions join our staff. Families may opt to hire their companion outside an agency as well, however these individuals must conduct their own extensive checks prior to hiring any caregiver from an agency.
They Give You a Break
Home companions provide many services such as grocery shopping, meal preparation and other cooking, cleaning services, laundry care, pet care services, housekeeping duties, transportation to appointments or social activities and much more – freeing family caregivers up for restful moments, running errands or simply taking much-needed solo time.
Caregiving for an elderly loved one can be both rewarding and draining, which makes taking some time away to refresh yourself vital. Elderly companions provide respite care so the primary caregiver can have some much-needed respite care themselves and relax during this important role.

They Give Your Loved One a Sense of Community
At home companions provide much-needed companionship for our elderly loved ones by simply spending time together – whether that means talking, playing cards or chess, socializing with other residents in the household, or providing support in social situations like caregiver absence or caregiving leave. Socialization helps fight loneliness which has serious health ramifications such as depression and dementia.
Reminding an elderly family member about medications and doctor’s appointments can be very helpful, particularly if they do not have family nearby who can assist with transportation needs.

They Give Your Loved One a Sense of Independence
Home companions provide many valuable services, from meal preparation and shopping, house cleaning and running errands, to reminding care recipients to take their medications or attend medical appointments.
Loneliness can be a serious threat for seniors, leading to depression or the neglect of self-care practices that lead to health problems like skin issues and an increased risk of infection. Companions can help combat loneliness by encouraging their clients to remain connected with family and friends through phone calls or visits.
As part of the selection process for home care providers, make sure your loved one is involved. Involvement will ensure they feel confident about the selection process as well as reduce rejection. Many home care agencies conduct background checks; otherwise, ask friends and family members for references or advertise locally in newspapers.
