What is companion care?
Companion care helps keep seniors’ daily lives active and engaging. It allows older loved ones to retain their independence and age in place without experiencing social isolation.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), isolation and loneliness can pose serious health risks to older adults. Experiencing loneliness long-term can lead to a higher risk of depression, anxiety, dementia, heart disease, stroke, and more.
Having a companion to talk to, turn to, and experience moments with can make a huge difference in a senior’s quality of life. It takes the pressure off of family caregivers when they can’t be with their loved one due to other responsibilities and empowers seniors to live a more fulfilling day-to-day life.
