Companionship

Let Aviva In-Home Care arrange a carefully screened elder-care companion to support your loved one in San Francisco. A regular, dependable companion can benefit a senior in so many ways. For example, it has been shown by research that healthy companionship elevates mood levels, and has positive impacts on other physical systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system. Those who are recovering from traumas or who have recently had surgery will also experience faster recuperation periods when they have consistent and positive interactions with a companion.

An Aviva in-home senior companion can help reconnect elder San Francisco residents to activities that they may have abandoned, or reduced in frequency due to physical limitations or decreased confidence in leaving their homes. Connection to the community, and to the specific organizations that bring one pleasure and enrichment are vital to maintaining a high quality of life. Clearly these things become more difficult as life presents us with challenges in older age. Our carefully-matched caregivers will always strive to positively motivate our senior clients. We realize how important it is to work closely with our families and client to identify the desired daily and weekly activities of the senior, and craft a care plan that identifies exactly how our companion-aides can optimize our client’s lifestyle.

At Aviva In-Home Care we realize that many of our clients’ families live at a distance. This inherently increases the challenges of regular contact with parents, grandparents, uncles or aunts. But we also realize that our clients’ needs vary greatly. We remain flexible to provide everything from three days per week of companionship for a few hours a day, to full-time or even live-in senior care, should that be needed. Even a few “touchpoints” a week from one of our wonderful caregivers can make all the difference to our clients. Additionally, we realize that sometimes only this limited time per week is all that is needed to give them the option to remain in their home, as opposed to moving to a full-time care facility at much greater expense.
