Think about the role your family and friends play in your life. Do you enjoy seeing them often? Do you look forward to catching up on the weekends? Can they lift your spirits when you’re in a bad mood? We naturally crave these connections, and that doesn’t change as we age. However, older adults can experience a significant decline in social interaction when living at home, which can lead to feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Fortunately, Sage Home Care offers companion care services designed to help seniors stay socially engaged, connected, and supported.
How Can Companion Services for Seniors Help?
Whether an older loved one realizes it or not, aging at home can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Activities that were once simple — visiting family and friends, attending community events, or getting around independently — can become challenging if they can no longer drive or need help monitoring their health.
For older adults, these changes can make it harder to stay engaged with the world, and the resulting isolation may contribute to:
- Depression
- Decreased cognitive health from a lack of stimulation
- Increased anxiety
- A higher risk of chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure
What Services Can a Companion Caregiver Provide?
Sage Home Care’s senior companionship services provide personalized support to help each individual stay engaged, connected, and active. Our professional companions may assist with:
- Attending community events
- Visiting friends and family
- Mental stimulation through board games, puzzles, and other engaging activities
- Accompanying clients to doctor’s appointments
- Meaningful conversation
- And more
