Companion Care in Montgomery County, MD
At Nest & Care, we know that the demands of our jobs and families sometimes make it impossible for us to live with our elderly loved ones or spend quality time with them. Unfortunately, when seniors live alone or spend the better part of the day unaccompanied, they tend to experience feelings of loneliness and social isolation.
Research shows that social isolation in seniors can have a negative effect on their health, especially when they already have underlying health issues. On the other hand, companionship has been shown to positively impact their general well-being. For example, companionship is believed to lower the risk of heart disease, protect against dementia, and help patients recover from surgery or illness much faster, among other health benefits.
That’s not all; we all know that seniors tend to lose strength and mobility as they age. As a result, they may not be able to handle emergencies as efficiently as they used to when they were stronger. This makes it uncomfortable and even dangerous for them to live alone.
Because a companion is not there to provide companionship alone but also to keep an eye on the senior, family members, and even the seniors themselves can rest easy knowing that there’s a responsible adult they can depend on to make a sensible decision should an emergency or any other need arise.
Therefore, if you can’t be with your loved one for any reason, or if you are a senior who wishes to have someone to talk to or to keep you company a few times a week, we can help.
Suppose you are worried about entrusting your loved one or your security, for that matter, to the hands of a stranger. In that case, there is no need to worry—we always aim to match our clients with caregivers who match their needs and personalities.
Does your loved one enjoy reading? If yes, we will match him/her with a caregiver who enjoys reading. If he/she enjoys playing cards, we will match him/her up with a caregiver who also enjoys playing cards. And so forth!
Because of that, we can positively state that we have seen beautiful friendships blossom between our clients and caregivers.
Our companion care is primarily an emotional support and companionship package for seniors who want to remain at home. But it also incorporates home care solutions, such as:
