Is the elder you know lonely and depressed?\u00a0 Does he or she miss her friends and family she used to see more often?\u00a0\u00a0Social isolation is common among seniors\u00a0and leads to mental and physical health problems like depression, anxiety, poor nutrition, dehydration and disorientation.\u00a0\u00a0Studies show that people who are socially engaged lead longer and happier lives.<\/p>\n

Touching Hearts senior companion caregivers are chosen for their desire and ability to \u201cconnect\u201d with elders.\u00a0 They are not \u201csenior sitters\u201d in a passive way; they actively ENGAGE our clients for companionship. No matter what tasks we are doing in the home to help our clients, we are keeping the positive social interaction foremost on our minds.\u00a0 Since each person is unique, we focus on our client\u2019s unique social background and characteristics to find ways to positively interact and bring joy to their lives.\u00a0 We pair our caregivers with our clients to find the best \u201cmatch\u201d that will result in a lasting, rewarding experience.<\/p>\n

Below are some examples of activities and functions our senior companions perform and the results that our clients have experienced.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
