Sunshine for Elderly

 ~With regularly scheduled visits, consistent human contact eases loneliness and gives seniors something to look forward to.  Also, there is the stimulation from something fresh, with exploring outside activities and adventures.

   ~It’s easier for seniors to engage in activities that hold an interest to them.  At first, they may feel that “They’ve been there and done that.”  Gradually, if a familiar opportunity is offered to them again, they may long to give it a try-one more time!  They may even become enthusiastic to try something new, “Just for the fun of it.!”
 ~Socializing and networking with other seniors allow them to see that they are not the only ones going through the aging process.  Soon, they may find many common interests among their peers.  It is a way to develop new relationships by sharing old memories and making new, but different memories.

  ~Sometimes we forget that we all need help, at one time or another in our life.  But that help is easier to accept, from a friend.  So, that is the approach our caregivers use.
  ~Our professional companion can simply be introduced as a “family friend.”  Then over time, we establish a relationship with your elderly loved one.  This is done by just dropping by ( with permission) to check on them and TLC phone calls.  With regular contact and visits, we are building a trusting relationship.  As the relationship expands, the senior becomes open to allowing assistance.  Either the assistance is requested by the senior or the caregiver asks, while making suggestions how the caregiver may assist.

  ~There are many additional services we offer, as the need arises.  Please feel free to ask, for whatever specific service that you may want for your senior parent.  We are always willing to work with our families, offering you all that we can give.

  ~We will do everything we can, to assist you in making correct choices that will best suit your loved one and benefit each family member involved.

  ~You decide what will work best with our regularly, scheduled visits.  It can be daily, a couple of times per week, or once a week.  If it doesn’t work, we can always change it.

  ~You will receive an introductory phone call giving you more information.  During this phone call, we will be learning how we can help you and you will be learning if this is what you had in mind.
