Caregivers Offer Companionship During the Pandemic

Our senior citizens face two significant risks to their health and wellbeing during the COVD-19 pandemic – the virus itself and the isolation imposed by the virus. However, many seniors have received their vaccinations and can visit with their families in small groups. This reduces the isolation, although health officials warn the health crisis is not over.

One service has made a big difference in the lives of seniors this past year — at-home care in Massachusetts. Your elderly parent who lives alone can have companionship and assistance with the chores of daily living with a senior caregiver. 

The Tasks of Daily Living

Your favorite senior citizen may be slowing down and require help around the house. This may include:

• Cooking

• Light Housekeeping

• Assistance with Bathing & Grooming

• Running Errands

• Medication Management

• Companionship

An in-home caregiver can come to your parent’s house every day or a couple of days a week to provide care and company. The companionship may involve reading the newspaper, playing cards, taking walks, or conversation. It all depends on what your senior needs. 

Call and talk to a company that offers at-home care in Massachusetts. Together, you’ll come up with a schedule of activities that takes the housekeeping burden off your parent’s shoulders and adds engagement to your elderly relative’s life.
