Danielle B. Care Companion in Leesville, LA 71446

Companion care is primarily emotional support and companionship for seniors who are generally healthy and who want to remain independent at home. However, it can also include a range of non-medical services that help make a senior's life more manageable. These services can include light housekeeping, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), medication reminders and more. At its core, companion care is just as the name implies—companionship and someone to share experiences and personal stories with. This personal link can be crucial for seniors who live alone and may be isolated from others. Seniors who engage in conversation and play games (bridge, scrabble, etc.) with a companion are keeping an edge on their mental acuity. Studies show that these kinds of stimulation can help delay the effects of dementia. Other services can include: Medication reminders, assistance with daily routines such as getting out of bed and getting in and out of the car, performing light housekeeping duties, preparing and cooking meals, transportation assistance to the grocery store, doctor's appointments, and errands, help with planning, scheduling and keeping appointments, encouraging and planning social activities, exercising to keep a healthy body, mind and spirit, entertaining with hobbies, games, etc., interacting with family members to keep them abreast of their loved one's condition. I am a very compassionate individual and love helping when and where I can because I may not be able to change the world but I may be able to make a difference in lives one person at a time. Happy people live longer!
