Recent research by the National Institute on Aging reveals that around 17% of adults aged 65 and older endure significant loneliness, which can lead to various health and cognitive problems. Companion care, which involves an in-home caregiver offering regular interaction, can substantially reduce these feelings and improve overall well-being.
"Companionship is the key to joy – it's in the shared moments, the laughter, and the simple presence of another that our hearts truly find happiness." - Unknown
