What Type of Care Best Suits Your Needs? 

Attentive Home Care specializes in both Companion Care and Personalized Care. Sometimes you just need a friend; other times, you need help with specific needs. We can help!

What is Companion Care?

Companion care involves both physical and emotional support for seniors and disabled adults in the comfort of their own homes. Socialization and companionship are proven to decrease anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. Attentive Home care is dedicated to improving their client’s quality of life and overall mental health.

How Can Social Seclusion Influence Seniors?

Studies have shown social isolation can dramatically enhance the risk of health complications and mortality in seniors. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with the following:

• Increased rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide
• A 50% increase in the risk of dementia
• High rates of premature death, physical health problems, and hospitalization

Seniors may be at a higher risk of social isolation or loneliness if they experience conditions and circumstances including:

• Death of close family members, especially a spouse
• Family and friends who do not live nearby
• Vision or hearing loss
• Difficulties with mobility
• Severe or chronic health conditions that limit their ability to leave home
• Losing the ability to drive
• Moving from their current home to a facility or even an apartment

Dedicated caregivers from Attentive Home Care can help prevent these problems and help your loved one live “their best life.” Our caregivers are trained to help your senior feel safe while enjoying the life they love.
