It’s not just work: Caregiving is about friendship as well.
Senior companion care services are a great way to combat social isolation, a common issue for seniors and one that can negatively impact physical and mental health. The support of friends, family, and Tandem’s kind-hearted and carefully vetted caregivers can make coping with the challenges of growing older and performing everyday tasks a little bit easier and more joyful.
What Does Companionship Mean?
Forming close connections with others is important for everyone. It’s a key ingredient for helping you and your loved one thrive and stay enthusiastic about life as they age. Tandem Careplanning believes caregiver relationships built on trust and companionship are a fantastic way to bring joy to both groups. That’s why we emphasize choice and a personal connection when you or your loved one interview different caregivers in our network.
Listening
Senior companion care isn’t always about a two-way conversation. For those who live alone, having a caregiver that listens without judgment can be all the support that’s needed on a given day, to validate how they’re feeling.
Common Ground
Discovering shared interests can form an instant connection between your family and your caregivers. Senior companion care can help form connections over music, sports, and more.
Encouragement
You or your family may need a positive influence as you or your loved one grows older. Depression and isolation can have a negative impact on quality of life. Companion care services can offer a positive, encouraging presence in your family’s life.
