When people are disabled, they can lack the opportunities for social interactions, which continue to be a basic necessity of life. Being alone can greatly affect a person’s quality of life and mental health. Companionship care focuses on the need for social interactions. Some of the things included in this service are as follows:

• Accompaniment on errands or to doctor appointments
• Assistance with grocery shopping
• Walking to get fresh air and exercise
• Playing games
• Correspondence, reading, and conversations

Many things affect appetite and nutrition. Illness, cognitive impairment, or emotional states can affect whether a person is eating properly. Proper nutrition is important for physical and mental health.

Our caregivers can help with planning, shopping, preparing and cooking meals. Even just being there so a person isn’t eating alone, can be a critical element in a person’s life.
