Reconnect with What Brings You Joy:
Meaningful Activities with Companion Care
As we age, our needs and aspirations evolve, and sometimes, everyday tasks can present new challenges. Whether it’s managing medications, keeping up with appointments, or simply maintaining a comfortable home environment, it’s only natural to want a helping hand.
At Your Side Home Care understands the desire for compassionate support. Our Companion Care service is designed to meet the unique needs of seniors like you, offering assistance from friendly, trained professionals in the comfort of your own home. That way, you can engage in the activities that are most meaningful to you.
Home Companion Services Go Beyond Routine
At Your Side believes everyone deserves to live life to the fullest, regardless of age or needs. Inspired by Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we focus on ensuring both the practical and emotional well-being of our clients.
We begin by addressing the most essential aspects of everyday living: providing reliable assistance with daily activities like meals, hygiene, and safety. Our trained caregivers offer more than just help with tasks; they build genuine connections with clients, becoming familiar faces and trusted companions.
This foundation of security allows us to move beyond the basics, and with our ActivityWise program, we can foster social interaction and mental stimulation through personalized activities, sparking joy and creating lasting memories. By nurturing positive emotional experiences and genuine companionship, we help our clients thrive at every level.
Customizable Companion Care to Appeal to Your Loved One’s Interests
Your companion care journey begins with a comprehensive social history assessment. This isn’t just a questionnaire; it’s a conversation and a chance to delve into your loved one’s life. We explore their social background, personality traits, favorite activities, hobbies, and skills to learn what sparks their joy, what challenges them, and what makes them tick.
But this wealth of information doesn’t stay behind closed doors. We feed it into an intelligent system: a custom-designed software that transforms responses into a personalized report. This report becomes the blueprint for an engaging and fulfilling care plan filled with activities and tasks that resonate with your loved one’s unique preferences. And it doesn’t stop there—we share this powerful tool with you, the family, through our secure Family Portal. Here, you can see the activities planned, participate in suggesting new ones, and witness the happiness it brings to your loved one. By creating transparency and shared involvement, we foster a collaborative care environment where everyone feels informed and connected.
Daily Activities for Structured Daily Routines
The curated questionnaire with accompanying software generates personal insights, which are used to create a daily agenda reflective of each client’s hobbies, skills, and preferences. Additional resources are provided through the customized links included in the personalized report. This individualized approach benefits the client as well as the caregiver and helps facilitate their relationship as well as create a structured daily routine. Our goal is to enact at least one meaningful activity per shift for every client.
Beyond the benefits of improving relationships, companion care provides seniors with the following:
- Cognitive stimulation
- Gentle exercise
- Bathing assistance
- Skill retention
- Meal planning
- Elderly home healthcare
- Light housekeeping
- Reminiscence
- Life meaning and purpose
