How Companion Care for Seniors Can Help Your Loved One

It’s important for all of us to have someone to chat with, laugh with, or share a cup of coffee with. Senior citizens are at an increased risk of loneliness because they might struggle with interacting with friends and family on a regular basis due to mobility or transportation. Studies have shown that loneliness can lead to sadness, depression, and other mental health outcomes that can also impact physical health.
