What Is Companion Care For Seniors?

November 12, 2020 By Keren Wheeler

companion care for seniorsCompanion care allows individuals to get the assistance they need with their daily tasks while they remain independent in their homes. Although companion care for seniors is the most popular type of service, this type of care is an excellent option for others. Those who have disabilities, those who have been discharged from a medical facility and expectant parents can benefit from companion care.

People often confuse these types of services with home health care; these services are beneficial for anyone who does not need medical services. Examples of these services are:

  • Medication reminders
  • Transportation to doctor appointments
  • House cleaning
  • Grocery shopping
  • Other errands

Companion Care For Seniors Available 24 Hours A Day

In order to keep up with demand, home health care agencies are beginning to extend the types of companion care for seniors that they offer. In addition, they are extending the hours that they offer these services. The services are often provided 24 hours a day in order to ensure you or your loved one receives the assistance that is needed based on your schedule.

Home Safety Checks

Many agencies also offer free in-home assessments or home safety inspections. A licensed nurse conducts these consultations. Similarly, agencies thoroughly screen all companions before allowing them to enter a client’s home.

However, it is important that the client meets the companion before services begin. This way the client, the family, the companion and the agency can ensure that the client is properly matched with the professional companion. This meeting will also help to clear up any confusion and help everyone understand the expectations.

Building Friendships With Companion Care For Seniors

One of the main benefits of this service is that seniors can build genuine friendships with their companions. This should not be mistaken as simply buying a companion or a friend. These professionals genuinely love their jobs. They enjoy spending time with their clients playing cards, going for walks or giving a new parent advice on how to quiet their baby when he or she cries.

They can also assist with personal care needs, housekeeping needs or transportation needs.

Remember that all companion care for seniors is not the same. You should thoroughly research the agencies in your area and select the one that offers services that are best matched with your loved ones needs.
