Melt Away the Loneliness

Each person has different interaction needs and we understand that clearly. One individual might benefit from an hour or two, while someone else might require more continuous care. The scenario on this page is just one example. Contact us to learn more about how this service can make all the difference to someone who needs companionship.

    SCENARIO: We Need a Little Break


    John is 21 and lives at home. He has severe cerebral palsy and his parents do not want him to be left alone. John's mom and dad are his primary caregivers and they do an excellent job. They simply need a short respite or two during the week. They are passionate about Wednesday night bible study and the Friday night fish fry—and they sincerely want to resume those and other activities.

    John's parents want him to have an experienced companion when they are away. So, the most suitable approach is to have a companion come to the house on scheduled evenings. The caregiver arrives prepared with activities to ensure that John enjoys the evenings his parents are away. This includes watching selected movies, playing cards and discussing John's personal interests. Click on the links below to learn more about our other types of services.
