Home companions provide support and companionship to seniors unable to live independently. These home care workers may be employed through agencies specializing in non-medical home care or as independent contractors.
Caregiving services can assist with tasks like grocery shopping, meal preparation, housekeeping and providing friendly support – as well as monitoring potential safety risks such as tripping hazards – that need attention.
Company and Emotional Support
Many seniors who require companion care struggle with social isolation. A home companion may help your loved one overcome this struggle by offering conversation, playing games or going on outings together to boost spirits and overall well-being. They could also assist them in leading healthier lifestyles by offering encouragement or reminders to take medications or participate in physical activities such as walking.
