Companionship is important for persons who are living independently. This is to allow them to prevent the risk of experiencing isolation and depression.
Some seniors and disabled individuals prefer to live alone in their homes. Because of this, many of them often experience deterioration in mental health. That is why home care agencies provide companionship services for these persons to prevent their patients from the risks of isolation and depression.
Aside from their friendly and loving presence, caregivers offer various activities so they can help patients ease the feeling of loneliness. The services offered include playing games, exercise, a chaperon for social events, gardening, etc.
