Constant Companion from Visiting Angels of East Lansing, MI Provides Comfort Care and Makes Social Distancing Less Stressful for Seniors

 

The COVID-19 outbreak has caused healthcare professionals to encourage people to stay at home and practice social distancing in order to avoid spreading or getting the disease. Since the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has identified people aged 65 or older as a high-risk group, it is important to make sure your senior parents, relatives and loved ones stay safe and healthy during this time.

Some ways to practice social distancing include:

  • Avoid gatherings of 10+ people
  • Staying at least six feet away from others in public settings
  • Leaving your house for essential purposes only
  • Avoid cruises and non-essential air travel

What is Constant Companion?

Constant Companion is a voice assistant device that uses Amazon Alexa that can provide comfort care for your loved one at home. Unlike similar devices like emergency pendants that can make seniors feel old, Constant Companion is not a wearable device, meaning it can provide support anywhere in your loved one’s home.

Constant Companion can be programmed with important dates and times, essential phone numbers and so much more. It can also connect your loved one to critical care response agents at any time.

How Can Constant Companion Help My Loved One?

Some of the ways Constant Companion provides comfort care include:

  • Companionship
    Constant Companion can make it easier for your loved one to call the people they care about with pre-programmed numbers and a speaker-phone system. Your loved one can also send voice texts and use video chat by using the power of Alexa.
  • Medication Reminders
    Constant Companion can be programmed with reminders throughout the day. That way, your loved one can listen for the reminder and take the right dosage at the right time.
  • Emergency Response
    With Constant Companion, your loved one can contact emergency services to help them get the care they need. Since medical alerts are voice activated, your loved one can access the emergency response from anywhere in the house, regardless of how close they are to their phone or the device.
  • Entertainment
    By using the power of Alexa, Constant Companion can keep your loved one entertained. Alexa can answer any questions your loved one has, tell jokes, play their favorite music, read audio books, tell them about the weather and so much more. Even if your loved one must limit their time outside or can’t enjoy their favorite places, Constant Companion can make sure they’re content in their own home.
