Companion Care Services in Groton

How Health and Companionship Are Linked

We depend on social interaction more than most people realize. Companionship helps us stay alert and at ease, and makes it easier to tackle every day. Long-term isolation can activate all kinds of health problems, affecting mood, cognition, and physical health. These risks can be especially common for seniors. At Visiting Angels^® Groton, our companion care services can reduce the isolation felt by seniors living alone. 

Let's take a closer look at how that's true. 

How Companion Care Services Can Make A Difference

Companionship can improve the way we feel, the way we think, and even our overall physical wellness. Friends, family, even a dedicated caregiver can have an effect. If you have a family member aging in place alone, here's how our in-home care can help: 

• Having a familiar face nearby. With our companion care services at Visiting Angels Groton, your loved one won't be dealing with a new person every time, but the same, dedicated caregiver. Our caregivers are selected with each client in mind, so your loved one will always have the support of someone who understands their temperament and their needs. Regular, ongoing support from a familiar face can bring enormous comfort, especially if your loved one is struggling. 
• Staying alert through conversation. Even the smallest conversations activate our brains. This kind of mental exertion is especially important for seniors who face a significant risk of cognitive decline. It's no surprise that prolonged isolation can deeply worsen our ability to think and process. We help seniors in Groton stay mentally focused, engaging clients in regular conversation and companionship. 
• Finding joy on a regular basis. Boredom goes hand-in-hand with loneliness. It's hard to make the most out of life when grappling with so much solitude. We help seniors stay connected to friends and family, and encourage the pursuit of cherished activities. If your family member needs help with travel, we can make sure they get to their destination. If they want to invite others over, we can keep the home in tip-top shape.
