2 - 3 When a Different Level of Care is Needed Some elderly parents who live independently don't require home "health care." They can still get around, prepare meals, and attend to essential household tasks. They may, however, suffer from loneliness. What they need is companionship - someone to drive them to and from appointments, to accompany them to the market or the theater, or just to engage them in conversation on a topic of interest to them. This is a different level of care from what we traditionally think of as home health care, but it is no less critical to the preservation of a loved one's desired quality of life. It is a level of care that we are proud to provide. Elder Connections companions quickly become valued companions. They take an active role in a client's day, offering stimulating conversation or just a quiet presence, ready to lend a hand when needed. They take their cues from the client and from their own assessment of what the circumstances require. Their knowledge and experience gives them a good sense of the kind of presence they ought to be at any given moment. Whether it's providing transportation for shopping trips and recreational activities, or accompanying clients to the doctor's office, or making phone calls to arrange for home repairs or to check into the terms of a warranty, the services they provide and the companionship they offer quickly come to be greatly valued by our clients.
