Improved Health

One of the greatest benefits of companion care is its positive effect on health. Regular visits from a qualified and experienced Affinity Health caregiver can help improve emotional, mental, and physical health.

The emotional benefits come from the unconditional emotional support afforded by caregivers. Your loved one will gain a trusted and suitable companion to interact with, and get assistance with daily activities.

Companion care will also have a positive effect on mental health. The very act of social interaction has a positive impact on mental acuity. A conversation forces both sides involved to process incoming information, formulate an appropriate response, and reply. This helps keep the mind active and nimble.

People that are more socially active, also tend to be more physically active. Regular social activity helps elevate mood, and increase feelings of self-worth. It encourages people to get out more to see friends and family.

The physical benefits of companion care, can be enjoyed through exercise routines, or even just going for a walk to the park.
