A Caregiver/Care Companion can provide social interaction. This could be something as simple as talking over a cup of coffee, going to the movies, cooking or gardening together. In the process of doing their job, Caregiver/Care Companions can deter loneliness and depression in older adults.
A Caregiver/Care Companion can provide safe transportation and accompany your loved one on errands, doctor’s appointments, social events, etc. Such assistance can expand an aging individual’s world outside of the home and help them remain active.
By providing ongoing personal care, a Caregiver/Care Companion is able to help aging individuals continue living safely, comfortably and socially at home. A little extra help can be all that is needed to extend a sense of independence. This goes a long way toward improving their outlook on life and boosting self-confidence. Most aging individuals are comforted by remaining in familiar surroundings where they have spent most of their lives. A Caregiver/Care Companion can help them stay there longer than they would be able to on their own, forgoing placement in a long-term care facility.
A Caregiver/Care Companion will keep an eye on your loved one and detect changes in their condition, such as; refusing to eat, sudden weight loss, medication mismanagement, forgetting to turn the stove off, etc. This kind of accountability can make a significant difference in preventing accidents and avoidable health complications, particularly in situations where an older adult has a difficult time with communication and/or remembering things. Caregiver/Care Companions are specifically trained to read subtle signs that a senior’s mental or physical condition has changed and can act quickly to remedy the situation.
It can be difficult not to worry about your loved ones when you can’t be there for them. A Caregiver/Care Companion can provide that one-on-one, individualized care that a sole caregiver is not able to offer full time, giving you a peace of mind. A Caregiver/Care Companion is a valuable addition to your loved one’s care and needs.
