Companion care services focus on providing social support, emotional well-being, and companionship for your loved one. These services can significantly improve their quality of life by combating feelings of loneliness and isolation. Here’s a glimpse into what companion care typically offers:
- Light Housekeeping and Laundry: Companion care providers can help with light housekeeping tasks like dusting, vacuuming, and making beds. They may also assist with laundry to ensure your loved one has clean clothes readily available.
- Errands and Transportation: Running errands and attending appointments can become difficult, especially with limited mobility. Companion care providers can offer assistance with grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, or accompanying your loved one to doctor visits.
- Meal Preparation (Light or Limited): While some companion care providers may offer light meal preparation, such as making sandwiches or preparing simple dishes, not full meal preparation.
- Social Activities & Companionship. Caregivers engaging your loved one in conversation, playing games, or other activities is one of the greatest benefits. This could also include outside social activities or outings in the community.
- Mental Stimulation and Conversation: Engaging conversation and mental stimulation are crucial for cognitive health. Companion care providers can help your loved one stay mentally active through conversation, playing memory games, or reading together.
- Documentation: All companion caregivers are required to document the activities of the day and complete shift notes including specific in the care plan such as intake, activities, etc.
