Why Is Companionship Essential for the Elderly?

Humans thrive on social interactions from the community in which they live. Our coworkers, families, and friends provide us with social engagement daily. Even simple routines like commuting to work or school, going shopping, or ordering in a restaurant can provide us with opportunities for socialization. However, this is no longer the case for many older adults.

Their regular opportunities for social activities have likely decreased due to immobility, retirement from jobs, or the loss of family members. This situation has increased the elderly’s vulnerability to loneliness and isolation.

Companionship is essential for giving people a meaningful human connection that improves their quality of life. This makes companionship a vital component of senior care. According to Duke University Medical Center research, social interaction may help people live a longer, healthier life. Giving our seniors companion care allows them to age in place without fear of becoming isolated or lonely, thereby promoting wellness.

To ensure their safety and comfort at home, family members can contact homecare services for their senior loved ones. A professional caregiver will be sent to a patient’s home for companion care to provide social engagement and assistance with daily activities.
