In-Home Companionship for New York Seniors

Companion care services for seniors and elderly adults in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Nassau County.

in home companionship for seniors in new york city As part of the total care of the patient, the home health aide provides companionship care as well. Never discount the value of companionship and conversation. Personal interaction makes a huge difference in a person’s attitude and mood. However, isolation need not be a necessary by-product of homecare. A home health aide can accompany a senior on a walk, errands or a fun outing. As such, aides help keep them safe while they enjoy much-needed social opportunities.

In addition to personal care, companionship care services are part of the tasks of our Certified Home Health Aides. Our aides take over the total personal care of the patient to ensure that the patient is happy, comfortable and well cared for. An in-home health aide can provide the healthy interaction and activity that are vital for seniors by participating in your parent’s daily life by reading to them, playing games or cards and discussing the news of the day.

Contrary to the opinion of some, seniors don’t like cocooning themselves in their homes thinking that life has passed them by. Their maturity and seasoned attitude toward life enable them to appreciate the here and the now all the more.

For most senior citizens, the way to their hearts and minds is through simple companionship. What they most want is time and friendship. Moreover, research has shown that senior citizens still enjoy being active and current. Since the aides are from a somewhat more technologically savvy generation, they can often help the seniors navigate through some modern technology. In fact, seniors are quick to catch on the value of some of today’s conveniences such as Skype and Facebook for keeping up with friends and family. An on-site helper from the younger generation can make that even more pleasurable.

“I am glad I called your agency and thankful that you chose both excellent aides to assist me.”

M KNew York, N.Y.

“This is a letter thanking you for providing wonderful services for my mother. Both D.B. (aide) and C.B. (aide) did a wonderful job in the time they took care of my mother.”

J TStaten Island, N.Y.

“I am grateful to you for sending 2 wonderful people to take care of my mother. I would give M. (aide) and G. (aide) the highest of recommendations. In fact, I have given the name of your agency to 2 different parties who are in need of help in caring for an older person. It was my pleasure dealing with such an understanding individual at your agency.”

G ICedarhurst, N.Y.

“Thank you for everything. You were very helpful in getting us reliable, friendly assistance. My family and I thank you deeply.”

M K FStaten Island, N.Y.

“My family and I wish to express our appreciation to your agency for the courteous and efficient manner in which assistance was given. We particularly would like to single out H.G. (aide) for the extraordinary care she provided. Not only did she attend to my mother’s physical needs in an excellent manner (hygiene, meals, etc.), but she gave her loving attention during a very difficult period. She is a warm, caring, highly intelligent woman and a fine credit to your agency.”

H CRockaway Park, N.Y.

“I just wish to express how pleased we all have been with the service you have provided.” –

E TWest Hempstead, N.Y.

“I am writing to commend your employee, B.S. (aide), for the excellent care she gave my mother. I must admit I had misgiving about allowing a total stranger to live in our home, but I had no choice. Mother was no longer able to care for herself and it was impossible for me to stay at home 24 hours a day to care for her. So a “live-in” was the only answer. B.S. was clearly the best thing that happened in a very sad, trying situation. She was a great comfort, and I hope to be able to keep up with her as a personal friend from now on. She is superb and definitely ‘one of a kind’.”

N BQueens Village, N.Y.

“We are all very satisfied and pleased with the aides you have sent to us. I don’t hesitate in recommending people to you. Thank you.”

M KStaten Island, N.Y.

A J TBrooklyn Heights, N.Y.

T C HPark Slope Brooklyn, N.Y.

“Words cannot express the sincere gratitude we want to extend to you and your agency. On several occasions our family has had the need for home care and we’ve always been pleased with the quality of service you have provided. In particular, A.P. (aide) came to us and we immediately felt like she was a part of our family, and we a part of hers. Although she was only with us for a short time, her help and compassion for S.P (client) should not go unmentioned. Our warmest thanks to you and your staff.”

M WStaten Island, N.Y.

“On behalf of M.G. (client) I would like to thank you for all your assistance in providing me with aides to care for her. It was a big relief knowing she was cared for. I would particularly thank L.C. (aide) who was most helpful and caring and provided M.G. with comfort in her own home which was her wish.”
