Companion Care

Companion care is an essential element of in-home care that addresses a senior’s social and emotional well-being. Researchers have demonstrated time and again the critical link between an individual’s social and emotional health and their physical health. Sadly, a great number of today’s seniors live alone and do not receive the amount of companionship that they require. Even seniors who live with others may face a lack of social and emotional stimulation if their family, friends, or roommates do not have the time or ability to engage in meaningful conversation and reflection. In these cases, an in-home care provider can be worth their weight in gold.

When most people think about in-home care, they think about housekeeping, laundry, and personal care. What many people do not realize is that the social and emotional components or care are often even more important than the physical caregiving tasks.

Companion Care in Portland, OR

Isolation and loneliness are very quick paths to depression and a plethora of other health problems. Companion care helps alleviate loneliness and social isolation. In addition to listening, sharing stories, playing games, going for a walk, or sharing a meal, a companion develops a personal relationship with the senior. This personal link is often the difference between positive and negative mental health, which reduces the risk of depression, increases mental acuity, and can even delay the onset of dementia.

In addition to keeping a senior engaged at home, companion care is often the stimulus needed to get a senior reintegrated into their community. Many caregivers accompany seniors on shopping trips, to doctor’s appointments, or even to social events. Companion care gives the senior somebody they can rely on who knows their physical limitations, medical condition, and support requirements. Just knowing a caregiver is present provides confidence and security.

In short, loneliness and isolation are often associated with aging. Companion care helps keep seniors from experiencing these terrible conditions and the consequences associated with them.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
