At Comfort Keepers®, our team in Jacksonville, FL understands the incredible effects of socialization and senior companion care on elderly mental health and well-being. Opportunities to engage with others and grow relationships with friends, family, neighbors, and community members can help improve symptoms of depression, ease feelings of senior isolation and loneliness, and even reduce the risk of dementia.
By spending time with our caregivers, your loved one not only has someone at the ready to help around the house or help prepare a meal, they also have a friend who offers social connection and a companion who can help them get back to doing the things that bring them joy.

What Is Companion Care?
Senior companion care, or companionship, provides emotional support, friendship, and socialization. We focus on activities that bring joy, provide mental stimulation and encourage physical and emotional wellbeing. Our caregivers are in regular communication with a client’s loved ones to share progress, answer questions, and simply check-in.
