Social Assessment:

We begin by meeting with your older family member in his or her environment, to gather information and get to know one another. Does he or she have special interests that a companion might share? Are there dietary restrictions or preferences? Is a male or female companion most appropriate? Perhaps there is a special love for music or the arts that could be more fully enjoyed with the right companion. This is a warm, positive, sharing time where we learn what the elder adult hopes to gain from this new relationship.
 

Careful Matching:

Great care is taken to match the most suited person for each assignment. Information is taken from our Assessment, and discussions with the family, the client, and other professionals. All this is filtered through what we've learned from our many years of experience. Only then is a companion selected and introduced. The human elements of respect, genuine concern, and warm, caring communication are the most important aspects of our work.

Ongoing Commitment:

Selection of an appropriate companion is only the beginning of our role in enhancing your elder loved one's quality of life. The progress of the relationship is constantly monitored through our communication with the client, the client's family, and the companion. We are then able to answer questions, resolve problems, and make recommendations for adjustments as needed. You can be certain that whatever may come up, Compassionate Companions will face it with you.
