A Helping Hand. A Comforting Presence.
Companions at our retirement community do much more than the name suggests. While regulations prevent them from providing hands-on care, the companion is frequently a help in maintaining a high level of senior living independence by decreasing the three plagues of old age: loneliness, helplessness and boredom, as discussed by expert geriatrician Dr. Bill Thomas. The carefully selected staff member(s) fight these plagues by:
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Meal preparation
- Medication reminders
- Respite care
- Transitional care
- Transportation services including shopping and errands
- Engaging in stimulating conversation
- Reading the newspaper, mail or a favorite book
- Recreational activities of interest including card/board games and more
- Assistance with correspondence
