What Is Companion Care for Seniors?
You may ask, “What exactly [is] companion care, and who is it for?”. Companion care is our in-home care service that assists our elderly and disabled clients. Companion care for seniors and the disabled includes multiple ways to make life more accessible and safer for them. Examples of care include but are not limited to, running errands on behalf of a senior, planning and preparing regular meals, performing light housekeeping duties, and offering medication reminders.
We use this kind of elder care to improve a client’s quality of life in other ways; our caregivers participate in favorite hobbies, attend client’s appointments and social outings, and engage in conversations. For isolated seniors, these activities are a lifeline for them. Social isolation has been shown to increase health complication risks and death dramatically in seniors. You are ending the cycle of senior isolation by providing a companion for seniors.
Companion Caregiving vs. Personal Caregiving
Once you have decided to invest in elder care services, you must choose whether you need companion care or personal care. Since you will need to choose between the two, it is best to know the difference between them. When providing a companionship for seniors, the services usually included basic activities such as doing laundry, making meals, and assisting with errands. This type of care does not include physical assistance with activities. Personal care, however does cover physical assistance to clients, such as dressing, bathing, or toileting, while also being a companion for seniors. Personal care services can also include non-medical assistance for chronic health conditions like diabetes or Parkinson's. Typically, older adults who receive senior care can continue to age in their homes comfortably with companion caregiving. Seniors who require more advanced care or physical assistance may need personal care to live safely at home.
