Companionship Care
The needs of our senior clients often extend beyond medical care. Those individuals who live alone long for the companionship that will help to alleviate feelings of loneliness and, sometimes, depression. Our caregivers provide companionship to clients in all types of situations. Seniors may just need to have someone with them in their home or they may require a chaperone during their ventures outdoors. Some of the companion activities that our caregivers will provide to keep clients engaged and entertained include:
- Reading them the newspaper or their favorite book
- Accompanying them to social events including luncheons, parties, and reunions
- Playing cards, games, putting together puzzles and model cars or planes
- Making arrangements for and accompanying them to visit friends and family members
- Providing mental awareness stimulation through intellectual conversations that pique their interest and keep them engaged
- Accompanying seniors to outdoor events at the local park
- Helping seniors with their interests and hobbies such as making arts and crafts, cooking, gardening, sewing, or knitting
Studies have proven that companionship and social connections can improve mood and cardiovascular health. Caregivers can provide companionship services that will help clients heal faster following surgery, an illness, or trauma.
Our companionship care will help keep your loved one engaged physically and mentally. Companion caregivers will help them relive important memories and provide encouragement to exchange their life experiences.
At Stay at Home Senior Care, we ensure that our caregivers are a great match for the client. The right companion will make life more enjoyable for you or your loved one by encouraging activities that are fun, whether it includes sharing a quiet day at home or taking in a movie at the local theater. You or your loved one will enjoy the benefits of daily stimulation and encouragement from the companionship of a carefully matched caregiver.
