According to a report by the AARP Foundation, around 17% of adults aged 65 and older feel isolated, which can lead to various health problems and cognitive decline. Companion care, where an in-home caregiver spends time with a senior, can significantly reduce feelings of loneliness and improve overall well-being.

At Comfort Keepers® of Evansville, we recognize the profound impact that companionship and social interaction have on the mental health and well-being of the elderly. Engaging with friends, family, neighbors, and community members can significantly lessen depression symptoms, combat feelings of isolation and loneliness in seniors, and even lower the risk of dementia.
