    COMPANIONSHIP

    Are you worried that your loved one is lonely? Are you out of state and not able to visit as often as you would like?

    Loneliness is a serious problem among elderly people. As we get older our social network gets smaller and can become non-existent if there are mobility or driving limitations.

     

    We can help! Our Companions will work to build a relationship with your loved one, based on mutual trust and respect, always having their best interest in mind. Having someone outside of the family to share their feelings, vent frustrations and discuss topics of interest helps to fend off loneliness, provide emotional support and gives them a visit with a friend to look forward to!

     

    We are an advocate and a friend to your loved one, plus we are a support system to you, helping to make sure the senior in your life is happy, independent, safe and social.

    SCHEDULING

    Have you ever spent 30 minutes of your precious time (possibly on your already too short lunch hour) managing and scheduling medical appointments for your loved one?

    With SILC you can take your time back!

     

    We understand how much time it takes to schedule the numerous doctor's appointments needed as we age. SILC will assist you by scheduling and keeping track of needed appointments for your loved one, and even better, get them there safely.

     

    Our companions will be aware of current medications being taken and any health changes, helping to assist the doctor with an accurate assessment of their current health.

     

    Companions can take notes, be a second set of ears to keep track of important information, and ask questions that need answers to better their health. We can even video conference a family member via mobile device during the appointment if requested.
