As we age it is inevitable that our social life slows down. Sometimes it is for a lack of energy, other times it is because of interruptions in social patterns brought on by the loss of a loved one or close friends. Other times there are physical or medical reasons why socialization becomes more challenging.

The problem is that loneliness can become its own medical condition. It manifests itself in many ways. People who are lonely might be less likely to maintain good nutrition, follow their medical prescriptions, or recognize the development of other issues like depression. With our companionship service we develop relationships that are crucial to keeping our clients in their homes longer.

A Better Living Homecare Companion will spend time with our clients to help maintain some of the relationships that are essential to good health. Whether it is engaging in a favor pastime or hobby, eating meals together, or just becoming a regular face to share news and family updates with, our Companion Service goes a long way to fending off loneliness.

Having a regularly scheduled Better Living Homecare Companion visit creates a continuity of care that means minor issues like missed meals, meds, or appointments can be discovered and reported to family and caregivers before the situation gets worse.
