For our Scottsbluff team, companionship can become very personal.

Care Pros have looked after clients’ pets when clients went to the hospital, read the Bible aloud to people who had lost their sight, and sat with clients during chemotherapy when they had no family there.

Some clients also enjoy at-home ‘spa days,’ such as having their nails done and receiving a foot massage. Companion care is shaped around what makes that individual’s day more connected and enjoyable.

Our Care Pros have done exactly that. When clients have gone to the hospital, companion Care Pros have helped keep their pets at home and cared for.

It’s a small detail that can matter enormously to someone who is worried about an animal while dealing with their own health.

That kind of practical, personal support reflects how Scottsbluff Home Instead Care Pros get to know the lives and routines of the people they serve.

Companionship can be adapted around what the person enjoys and is still able to participate in.

For example, our Care Pros have read the Bible aloud to clients who lost their sight. Other clients may prefer conversation or another familiar activity.

The goal isn’t to fill time with a standard activity list. It’s to understand what matters to that person and find meaningful ways to help them continue enjoying it.

Our team has supported clients through situations where simply having someone there matters. Care Pros have sat with clients during chemotherapy when they had no family available to accompany them.

That goes beyond traditional ideas of companionship. For our Scottsbluff team, it can mean being a familiar, supportive presence during a long or difficult day when a client would otherwise be alone.

Yes. Our team works with the Veterans Administration, Aging Office of Western Nebraska, and hospital social workers in connection with local care needs.

We’re also active throughout the Scottsbluff community through veterans events, health fairs, senior groups, and other local activities.
