Why Companion Care Matters for Seniors
Many seniors live alone, and without regular interaction, feelings of isolation can affect their well-being. Studies show that loneliness can contribute to cognitive decline and other health issues. Companion care at home is more than just a service—it’s a way to provide emotional and social support to aging adults.
Virginia is home to a growing number of seniors, and having a strong support system is key to aging well. Whether it’s sharing a meal, playing a game, or going for a walk, companionship helps seniors stay active and engaged.
