We’ll Be There When You Can’t Be

You call her every day … you shop for her … you take care of her repairs … you drive her to the doctor and help her with paperwork. You’d like to do more, but you’ve got your job and your own family to think about, too. And yet, you worry about your mom being home by herself so many days. And you’re not alone. Nearly one in every four Americans is caring for an older adult, and the stress can take its toll.

A Healthy Solution

Home Instead Senior Care’s® Companion Plus (companionship and home helper services) not only relieve stress and worry for family caregivers, but they also provide the healthy interaction and activity that are vital for seniors in retaining cognitive abilities and physical health. Our kind and thoughtful CAREGiversSM truly enjoy working with seniors. And we find that most seniors are much more likely to accomplish tasks and participate in favorite activities when they simply have a companion with whom to enjoy them.

We Keep Seniors Independent

Back in your father’s day, every dad was the breadwinner, the handyman, the lawn guy, the hero. He taught you how to ride your bike, throw a curveball and drive a car. But now things aren’t so easy for him anymore, and you wonder how he can safely stay in his house. And doesn’t he deserve a little help after all he’s given over the years? Our Companion Plus services allow seniors to continue living in the homes they treasure, keep their familiar routines, socialize with friends and keep their sense of self-sufficiency.

Caregiver and senior share stories over the morning paper.
