Companionship Services
Dementia Care/Alzheimer’s Disease
Communication can be hard for people with Alzheimer’s and related dementias because they have trouble remembering things. Our staff are professionally trained to assist people who may be experiencing changes in thinking, remembering, and reasoning in a way that affects daily life and activities. Companion sitters can help with everyday care and tasks using techniques like the following:
- Try to keep a routine, such as bathing, dressing, and eating at the same time each day.
- Help the person write down to-do lists, appointments, and events in a notebook or calendar.
- Plan activities that the person enjoys and try to do them at the same time each day.
- Consider a system or reminders for helping those who must take medications regularly.
Emotional Support
Companion care offers emotional support and companionship for older adults who are generally healthy and live independently at home yet want regular social interactions. It can even include nonmedical services to make life more manageable, such as light housekeeping, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), and medication reminders.
Socialization & Entertainment
Companion caregiving is a popular service for seniors and disabled adults who need socialization and interaction but do not require advanced assistance. Professional home care services help them age in place, maintain their independence, and give you much-needed confidence they are receiving safe, compassionate care. Companion care can also include board games, social outings, music activities, and chores that support or maintain the independence of a senior or couple. Ultimately, companion care should help you enjoy life.
