Whether you live across the country or across the street from your aging family members, it helps to know they have someone nearby if they need support. Sometimes the right home care for your loved one is just having a friendly, compassionate companion who visits regularly to sit, chat, and reminisce.

Companion care is one of the most popular senior home care services. A caregiver keeps your loved one socially engaged at home, and can accompany them to visit friends or family, to social events, or to visit local sites. Outings don’t have to end because health complications make leaving the house difficult. Companion care for seniors gives them someone to socialize with, and gives your family someone to rely on.

Below are a few activities caregivers can help with:

• Social events
• Visiting family or friends
• Safety and security
• Shopping and errands
• Medication reminders
• Hobbies
• Home projects
