Effects of Companionship

Human Beings have a deep-seated need for love and compassion. These are fundamental aspects of human nature that contribute to emotional well-being and social connection. Love and compassion provide individuals with a sense of belonging, support, and understanding, fostering positive relationships and emotional resilience. Research in psychology and neuroscience also suggests that experiences of love and compassion have profound effects on mental and physical health, highlighting their importance in human life. From familial bonds to friendships and romantic relationships, expressions of love and acts of compassion are integral to human existence and fulfillment.

In our industry of assisting aging adults and veterans, we literally witness the effects that usually transform a person's outlook, well-being, and overall better interest in living life!

We have witnessed improved mental health from our CarePros being in the home on a regular basis, and it also seems to reduce their stress.

Studies show that people with social connections tend to have a stronger immune system. The emotional support provided by companionship may bolster the body’s ability to fight off illness and infection.

Social interaction stimulates the brain and can help maintain cognitive function as you age. Engaging in conversation, playing games, and participating in group activities.

This is exactly how Home Instead started in 1994. Paul & Lori Hogan's grandmother was declining, and when the family stepped in and set up schedules for each family member to visit with her grandmother, she thrived for ten more years.

I would have to say the old saying is true: "All they need is a little T.L.C. (tender loving care)," which holds true for a lot of our clients' needs.

So, if you know someone who needs some T.L.C. with an excellent CarePro with training and a passion to assist,
