That might include familiar routines, conversation, meals, personal care, transportation, and other activities included in the customized care plan.

Yes. One local example involves the landlord of the office building, who experienced a traumatic brain injury that affected his ability to be alone. A Care Pro supported him as he visited his real estate properties and continued doing activities that mattered to him.

For families on the East End, that can matter when an older adult needs help getting to appointments, shopping, errands, or other destinations but no longer drives safely or family members aren’t always available.
Transportation can also be paired with companion care so the Care Pro isn’t simply providing a ride—they can support the older adult before, during, or after the outing when that is part of the plan.
