When most of us imagine a care aid at work, we see a capable person assisting the elderly or ailing to eat, dress, and bathe. Providing these services is surely key to a care aide’s role.

But we all know there is more to life than getting by.

That’s what makes companion care so great!

A companion caregiver spends quality time with a client. Together, they engage in activities that help keep joyful engagement in the client’s routine.

This could be as simple as a friendly talk over tea. Or it could involve driving to meet the client’s longtime friends. Your care companion is there to help you get the most out of life!

Companion care can even help fight distress and depression, especially for those unaccustomed to being alone, but who suddenly find themselves more isolated. Unfortunately, this can be very common with seniors who choose to live independently.

We all know that socializing with our friends is good for the spirit. But Karp companion care services can also help maintain the body, especially if the time is spent going for supported walks in a nearby park or performing at-home exercises.

We’d all like to have plans with friends to look forward to.

Those who require home care, for any reason or length of time they may need it, think the same as the rest of us. And our Karp companion caregivers can help them to fill in that gap.

Companion care can also be easily combined with other forms of home care, including cooking or cleaning, to supercharge the effect of a single visit.
