There’s nothing like the comfort of home. That’s why so many older adults want to remain in their homes. “Aging in place” is possible for many seniors but to retain their independence, the help of family and friends can be essential. To stay safe in their home, companion care can play a crucial role in helping older adults to live their best lives.

Companion care offers valuable support through genuine connections and assistance specifically tailored for the unique needs of seniors. Helping older adults to remain in their homes safely can occur in the form of:

• Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) which include tasks like grocery shopping, meal prep and planning, light housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation to doctor appointments. 
• Social support means spending time with older adults through conversation, games, walks and accompanying them to social events.
• Emotional support by providing a listening ear, engaging in activities that promote mental well-being and offering encouragement. 
• Safety and supervision by monitoring the environment for potential hazards and ensuring safety at home. 

Companion care services can benefit both seniors and their families. A caregiver at home can boost the independence of an adult as well as give them the help to thrive in a comfortable place. Families have peace of mind that their loved one is safe when they can’t be there.
