Companion Care

Trusted In-Home Companion Care in Los Angeles and the Surrounding Areas

Age brings about many changes. Health may decline. Loved ones pass on. And it can be more challenging to get out of the house and participate in once-loved activities. These changes can lead to loneliness and depression. If you have concerns about an older loved one’s physical and/or mental health, hiring an elderly companion can be a huge help.

Partnering with a trusted in-home care agency, like JFS Care, for companion care services can provide your senior loved one with the support and social engagement they need, while offering you and your family the peace of mind in knowing someone is always there for them.

Why Is Companion Care Important?

Loneliness is a serious health risk, particularly for older Americans. Studies show that more than a third of people aged 45 and older report feeling lonely, and around one-fourth of people aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated. The reasons for social isolation vary and may be due to loss of mobility, bereavement over lost loved ones, poor health, or not living near family members.

Whatever the cause, social isolation can have detrimental effects on a person’s health and wellness, including:

  • Significantly increasing the risk of premature death
  • Increasing the risk of dementia by up to 50%
  • Putting seniors at a higher risk for heart disease and stroke
  • An increased chance of developing depression and anxiety
  • Higher rates of hospitalization

Senior companionship is vital for an older adult’s mental and physical health. Having an elderly companion allows seniors to stay socially engaged and eases feelings of loneliness and isolation, which in turn decreases the risk of developing the illnesses listed above.
