Opportunities to engage with others and grow relationships with friends, family, neighbors and community members can help improve symptoms of depression, ease feelings of senior isolation and loneliness, and even reduce the risk of dementia. By spending time with our caregivers, your loved one not only has someone at the ready to help around the house or help prepare a meal, they also have a friend who offers social connection and a companion who can help them get back to doing the things that bring them joy.
Companion care, or companionship, provides emotional support, friendship, and socialization. Common home companion care activities include:. At Comfort Keepers, we focus on activities that bring joy, provide mental stimulation and encourage physical and emotional wellbeing. Instead of just doing for your loved one, we use every moment to do tasks and activities with them to increase engagement and fulfillment. Our caregivers are trained and skilled in a broad range of care services that support home companion care and senior mental health.
This includes:. Nutrition and Meal Prep Our caregivers can provide assistance with grocery shopping and meal preparation, and support physician-prescribed nutrition and diet plans. Diet impacts overall wellbeing in a big way and decreases the likelihood of many common health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Whether someone is seeking help following a special diet or looking for companionship in the kitchen, our caregivers can provide the assistance necessary for wholesome at-home meals.
Our goal is to make meal-time both healthy and enjoyable. Conversation and Companionship Studies show that seniors who stay socially engaged enjoy improved quality of life compared to their solitary counterparts. They also have a lower tendency to develop depression and general cognitive decline. Our caregivers provide seniors with conversation, mealtime companionship, and camaraderie during their favorite activities.
Completing tasks together helps clients and caregivers form lasting, meaningful relationships. Laundry and Light Housekeeping Our caregivers can take care of all laundry needs, either in the home or at a nearby laundromat.
