Social isolation and loneliness are among the many health concerns that affect the elderly population. Many factors contribute to this like impaired mobility, being geographically separated, divorced/separated/widowed, disability, and more. When left unaddressed, it increases the risks for a variety of physical and mental conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Through the companion care services of home care in Atlanta, Georgia, seniors get emotional and social support while continuing to comfortably and safely age in place. It involves having conversations and other intellectual stimulation or social engagement that help boost seniors’ mental health like games, hobbies, reading, and so much more.
Aside from that, the companion services of non-medical home care in Georgia can include any or more of the following services.
- Transportation assistance
A simple trip to the doctor’s office, grocery store, and other errands can be too risky for seniors to go alone. Thus, a companion from ROSEWOOD HOME CARE accompanies seniors to and from appointments. - Meal preparation
Next to bathrooms, the kitchen can be one of the most dangerous areas of the home. To avoid kitchen hazards and for seniors to stay safe while preparing healthy and delicious meals, having senior care is the key. - Light housekeeping
Maintaining the household becomes a challenge for seniors due to changes that come with age. With the right assistance, seniors can keep a home environment that is comfortable, clean, safe, and healthy. - Reminder services
When family members do not live close by, seniors do not get reminders and notifications on medications, dates, routines, etc. Having companion care addresses this because someone is ready to remind seniors when it is time.
