About this job
What Is Companionship Care?
Elder companion care is a home-based service that improves the lives of seniors living at home. Our companion caregivers provide a close connection that encourages seniors to stay active physically and mentally. From playing their favorite card games to reliving treasured memories, personal caregivers provide warm social contact that staves off loneliness, depression, and inactivity.
Personal companions for the elderly lend a listening ear and help with preventative care. This can range from preparing healthy meals to encouraging mentally and physically stimulating activities that support long-term health and vigor.
Other Common companion caregiver duties often include:
*Light housekeeping
*Personal hygiene tasks, such as bathing and grooming
*Medication reminders
*Errands
*Medical appointments
Social Companion Care
Isolation is a health concern many face later in life. Whether they have a disability that makes them less mobile or they are geographically separated from their loved ones, a lack of social connection has physical and mental consequences. A companionship caregiver offers consistent engagement and can also help your loved one remain connected to their friends and family.
Preventative Companion Care
Home companions for the elderly can substantially reduce the risk factors of physical impairment. Issues that commonly contribute to impairment include:
*Malnutrition
*Weight fluctuations
*Decreased stamina
*Reduced muscle mass
Emotional Support, Comfort, & Friendship
Practical Assistance with Everyday Activities
Housework and the activities of daily living become more difficult with age. Meal prep, laundry, housekeeping, grocery shopping, remembering to take medication, and running errands become more challenging and even risky for seniors to handle alone. A companion caregiver helps with all these tasks and more.
Care needed: Monday to Fridays 10am to 2pm and 5pm to 9pm
