Is your senior loved one starting to have difficulties with day-to-day tasks around the home? If your elderly loved one has seemed depressed, lonely, and despondent while living alone, we know that you want to do everything in your power to help them find joy and meaning.

At Visiting Angels, we understand that seniors living at home often deal with the effects of physical ailments, loneliness, isolation, and boredom. As such, we offer seniors individually tailored non-medical care services provided by professional caregivers at home. Our outstanding caregivers are ready to provide your loved one with compassionate companion care services to help them remain comfortable and healthy while living at home and give you the peace of mind you need.

What Is Companion Care?

Visiting Angels companion care is an elder care option that provides non-medical emotional care to seniors in Post Falls, Hayden, Coeur d’Alene, and surrounding areas. Our Visiting Angels in-home caregivers can act as emotional confidants, in-home care assistants, companions for social events, or even just conversation partners. Think of our staff as friends with flexible schedules who are only a single phone call away!

How Can Companion Care Benefit Your Loved One? 

If your senior loved one is struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation, they are not alone. Unfortunately, many seniors regularly face these issues. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has found that social isolation can be extremely taxing on seniors, and contribute to poor mental health, physical health, and overall quality of life. 

How can our services help your elderly loved one overcome isolation and improve their quality of life? Visiting Angels Companion Care offers seniors a boost of social interaction as often as they need it. From playing board games to watching a movie to making crafts and beyond, our team of empathetic professionals is here to provide your loved one with the social interaction they need to promote good physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. 

How Does Companion Care Differ from Personal Care? 

If you and your loved one have decided that home care services are a better fit for them than assisted living, you’ll then need to figure out if they require personal care, companion care, or both. Thankfully, our team at Visiting Angels offers both!

Companion care, as we’ve described, covers the social elements of senior care. With this option, caregivers provide friendship, conversation, and social interaction to boost your senior loved one’s well-being. Personal care, on the other hand, offers your loved one a companion who also offers non-medical care for their physical needs. This can include help with mobility, assistance with daily grooming, transportation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and more. For seniors who need more specialized care, we can even provide palliative care, dementia care, Alzheimer’s care, End of Life care, and other more intensive options.
