Companion care is a type of in-home care service offering non-medical services to older adults and people with disabilities.

Care will typically include a number of ways to make daily living easier and safer for the care recipient. For example, a Care Partner might perform errands, such as grocery shopping or picking up medications, on behalf of a senior. At other times Care Partners will plan and prepare regular meals, perform light housekeeping and offer medication reminders, provide stand by assistance.

This type of care is designed to improve quality of life. Care Partners act as partners for favorite hobbies and activities, accompany clients to appointments and social outings, and engage in friendly conversation. These activities can be a lifeline for socially isolated seniors. Social isolation has shown to dramatically increase the risk of health complications and mortality in seniors.

Call Touching Hearts at Home to schedule your free consultation with you and your loved one. Based on our home visit, we will develop a custom care plan and schedule. This care plan will be tailored according to your loved one’s unique care needs and preferences. Ready to get started? Call us today at 585-271-7390 #companioncare #aginginplace

Congratulations to our Care Partner Ciera on the birth of her beautiful baby girl Marley Kaye. The name Kay has special meaning to Ciera and here is why in her own words: “I worked with Touching Hearts Client Kay during the overnights, Kay would share many stories about her family, love for ballroom dance and how proud she was of her children. Every night she would ask me how I was feeling and always countdown until my due date. She is an absolute gem and was delightful to work with. I absolutely adore Kay so I named my daughter Marley Kaye.”

Numerous studies show that noncompliance with medication taking is an epidemic among seniors and is one of the top reasons that people are rehospitalized. Some reports indicate more than 50% of elders do not take their medications according to the prescription. The risk is obviously much higher among persons with dementia. Even people without dementia who have normal age-related memory loss have heightened risk of medication non-compliance as they age. The result of not properly taking medications can range from minor to life threatening.
Proper hydration and nutrition often decline when memory loss occurs. Dehydration and malnutrition affect mental and physical well-being and may lead to the need for medical treatment and hospitalization. Reminders to eat and drink on a regular basis can be critical.
