What is Companion Care?
One of the best things about companion care is that it can be tailored to an individual’s specific needs. These are services that include both physical and social care and can be provided at a private home or in a nursing facility.
How do you know what type of care is needed?
Services such as food shopping, cleaning, cooking, organizing mail, and paying bills are examples of physical care. Social care, on the other hand, aims to provide emotional support and companionship. Both sorts of services may be advantageous in some instances. Whether someone needs physical, social, or both types of care, the overall purpose is to improve quality of life and have success in their preferred home setting.
What benefits are provided by our care?
Individuals who use our services benefit most from this type of care because it improves their quality of life, allowing them to live healthier and longer lives.
Companionship care has a greater focus on establishing a relationship between the caregiver and the individual. In a social setting, caregivers can provide an outlet for grief; they become problem-solvers. They connect with each individual on a personal level, becoming someone to rely on to spend time with and, in turn, each individual look forward to their visits. In a physical setting, caregivers remove the burdens and worries of tasks like reminders for appointments and paying bills, transportation to medical appointments, or a trip to the grocery store. All these services work together to keep each individual focused on enjoying their life.
