Loneliness is one of the biggest risks to an older adult’s health and happiness. ComForCare’s companion care in Edmonton pairs your loved one with a caregiver who fits their personality and interests – someone to talk with, share a meal with, and get out of the house with. Visits can be a few hours a week or every day, on a schedule that suits your family.
Good meals are about more than food. Our caregivers plan and cook healthy meals that follow your loved one’s tastes and any diet their doctor recommends, help with grocery shopping, and sit down to share the meal so it isn’t eaten alone. We also tidy the kitchen afterwards and keep the fridge stocked with easy, safe options for later.
Our caregivers can drive or accompany your loved one to doctor’s visits, follow-up appointments, the pharmacy, the grocery store or a visit with friends – and help them in and out safely.
Many families start companion care because they worry about falls. Through our Gaitway® Fall Prevention program, a trained professional can do a home safety evaluation and suggest simple changes, such as better lighting or removing loose rugs, to lower the risk of a fall.
Families in Edmonton often call us when they notice small changes in a parent who lives alone. Companion care may help if your loved one:
Companion care is a gentle first step. It keeps your loved one safe and connected at home now, and the care plan can grow with them later.
Every visit is planned around your loved one, but a three-hour morning visit might look like this: the caregiver arrives, chats over coffee and gives a medication reminder, then the two of them make a grocery list and drive to the store. Back home, they cook lunch together and eat at the table, tidy the kitchen, and finish with a walk, a game of cards or a video call with the grandkids. Before leaving, the caregiver notes how the day went so your family stays in the loop.
Staying active in the community matters as much as help at home. Our caregivers can go with your loved one to seniors’ centres, the library, church, coffee with friends, shopping centres or a stroll on the river valley trails in good weather. In winter, we plan safe indoor outings and help with boots, coats and icy steps. For ideas, see things for seniors to do in Edmonton and safe winter outings for seniors.
