Companion care means a friend is always there.
As seniors age, they lose friends, energy declines, and they face physical problems. All of these contribute to them withdrawing from society. They do not know what to do and may have difficulty sharing this with family. Social isolation can also contribute to several health risks including depression, dementia, heart disease and stroke.
A companion caregiver will discover what a senior enjoys doing, and then will share those activities with them. They will encourage participation with others outside the home, and provide transportation. Seniors can look forward to their new relationships without feeling like they’re relying too heavily on family and neighbors.
Companion caregivers are more than social directors. They can help with Activities of Daily Living like personal care, meals, house cleaning and more. A little assistance allows seniors to remain in their own home longer.
Being engaged means a senior is happier and healthier, plus over time the caregiver will become a true friend. Concierge Care can help you find companion care in Orlando, give us a call to get started.
