Intellectual Companionship

Intellectual Companionship

Our Elder Care Specialist (ECS) is a friend, companion and resource to the elderly. The ECS visits the elderly and helps them rekindle their interests and hobbies, converses on current and historical events, reminisces about the past, helps maintain contact with family and friends, helps with technology and stimulates their minds with the help of creative applications. Helping the elderly stay socially connected is an integral part of this service. We find that the elderly are much more likely to accomplish tasks and participate in activities when they simply have someone to accompany them. It has been proven by research also that being active and maintaining frequent human interaction plays an important role in retaining cognitive abilities and physical health as we age.
