One of the most isolating parts of being homebound is the lack of social interaction. Where your loved one used to be able to get out of the house, visit friends, go shopping and attend social engagements, now they are relegated to staying within the confines of their home due to immobility or sickness. Having a CareProSM to visit, chat with, or play a game of cards with can mean all the difference in feeling at peace with the reality of being homebound. The team that is As Close As Family recognizes the importance.
Wouldn’t it make you feel good knowing your loved one is getting the social stimulation they need to thrive? You may do what you can, but you can’t be everything to everyone, all of the time. Take a break, let our compassionate CareProsSM lend a helping hand for awhile, and know your loved one is being cared for by someone that is, “As Close As Family.”
What We Do
We will match your loved one with the best team member for them, based on personalities and interests. Offering steady companion care means your loved one can stay active by taking part in social visits, revisiting old hobbies they used to love, or even just taking a walk around the block. Having someone to talk to and laugh with is invaluable as we age. Below are some of the companionship services we offer:
- Companionship and socialization
- Playing board games, working on puzzles and playing cards — all in an effort to stimulate mental awareness
- Planning walking social visits with neighbors and friends
- Baking a cake, gardening, or reminiscing
- Documenting past experiences with scrapbooking and journal writing
We engage in frequent quality checks to ensure our CareProSM team is the best at what they do, so you can rest easy. In addition to companionship and social interaction, team members are also eager to help with personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, and respite care for caregivers.
Whether it’s just a game of Scrabble or baking a cake, our companions provide friendship that will last a lifetime.
