Companion Care
in Saginaw and
Nearby Areas
We all need to stay connected to others, yet for many older adults, it’s a challenge. Loneliness and isolation are quite common in a person’s later years, due to:
- The loss of a spouse and other family members and friends
- Chronic health, mobility, or other challenges related to aging
- Family who live at a distance
- No longer being able to drive safely
- And more
How Companion Care Can Help
Companionship from a trained, experienced caregiver is a highly effective way to ensure older adults stay social and continue to enjoy life to the fullest. We take time to get to know each individual we serve on a personal level: what hobbies and interests they enjoy now or have enjoyed in the past, their former career, what goals and aspirations they may have, etc. With that knowledge in mind, we provide opportunities for engaging activities, including but not limited to:- Arts and crafts
- Playing cards or board games
- Listening to music
- Reading from books, magazines, or religious literature
- Watching movies
- Visiting with neighbors
- Conversations and reminiscing
- Transportation and accompaniment to outings
- Taking walks or other doctor-approved exercises
- Participating in hobbies
- And so much more
The Benefits of Staying Social
Socialization is crucial to a person’s self-worth, mood, and outlook. We often hear from the individuals we serve that their day is instantly brighter when their caregiving companion arrives, and nothing makes us happier! We love knowing that we bring smiles, laughter, purpose, and meaning to someone’s life.
Companionship can help a person’s physical health as well. For instance, mealtime can be especially lonely for an older adult who lives alone. Having someone to talk with during meals fosters healthier eating habits. Not only that, but the motivation and encouragement we provide to get out of the house and engage in walking or other physical activity helps strengthen the heart, lungs, and muscles.
