Companionship
When aging in place, it is common for adults to experience isolation and loneliness. When family and friends move away to new communities, an adult's social circle can contract, further exacerbating the cycle of isolation. Loneliness does not have to be an inevitable part of the aging process. Companionship and regular social interaction promotes stronger mental and physical health while also reducing the risk of depression.
Louisville Companionship Services
Crafting - Our Care Associates love to take part in crafting activities such as scrap booking, photo album organizing, quilting, crocheting and embroidery. We also love to take our clients on trips to local shops were they can create "DIY" gifts like wallets, planters, jewelry and wall hangings.
Walks - There are many benefits to scheduling regular walks. Accompanied by our Care Associates, your walks will take place in a safe environment (indoor and outdoor). Daily walks offer heart health benefits, a way to strengthen abdominal and back muscles, and a chance to meet new people and enjoy the outdoor environment if weather permits.
Games and Puzzles - Our Care Associates love to take part in card and board games and putting together puzzles. While playing card games can be a great social activity, they also help older adults maintain their memory and cognitive skills.
Story Sharing - Our Care Associates enjoy learning about our clients' past through their stories. We also work with a media company called Engager to help capture and preserve these life stories for future generations of loved ones.
