Our companionship and elder care programs are available throughout the San Antonio area, with care given to clients in Castle Hills, Hollywood Park, Alamo Heights, and throughout Bexar County. Most of the discussion around elder care focuses on physical and mental well-being. Aging often weakens or disables our bodies and minds, and when our loved ones struggle finding a reliable care provider is important.
But these discussions often fail to address the emotional impact of aging. While many seniors live happily, others find themselves lonely, despondent, or depressed as they grow older.
This may be due to the loss of friends, family, or their partner. In other cases, they might find retirement lacks the sense of vitality and purpose of their working years. Other times, a loss of physical or mental faculties can lead to lowered self-worth or long periods of quiet and idleness.
Our elder care companions can attend to or help with basic, everyday tasks, such as grocery shopping, cooking, and neatness, all while giving your loved one a sense of security, comfort, and friendship. For patients with memory disorders, having a compassionate and non-judgmental companion to speak and relive fond memories with can be just as valuable as the stability of continuing to live in their own home.
Before beginning care, you will have a chance to screen your caregiver or caregivers to ensure they exhibit the qualities your loved one needs in a companion. For more information about our elder care and companionship services, or to take the first steps towards setting up care, give us a call at our San Antonio office.
