The Problem: More and more seniors are staying home.

Although the majority of people have moved on from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are numerous elderly individuals who are still feeling too fearful to leave their homes. There’s a perfectly reasonable fear among the elderly population that exposure could put their health at great risk, especially now that people are a little less careful on average. Just like during the height of the pandemic, this decision to stay inside leads many people to feel isolated and lonely. That’s where our Virtual Companion Program can help!

The Solution: A Committed & Responsive Online Friend

The most effective solution to this problem is providing elderly individuals with online companions with which they can interact, socialize, and engage. Through our Virtual Companion Program, we seek to support independent seniors who enjoy spending time with other people but can’t due to their immobility or health concerns. Whenever a senior has the desire to meet with somebody, they can simply tap into our system to find an available virtual companion. This way, seniors get the myriad benefits of engaging socially without the potentially negative health consequences.

Who is the Virtual Companion Program for?

Our Virtual Companion Program is designed to offer elderly individuals who can’t or don’t want to leave their homes for whatever reason interaction with an engaging virtual companion. The great thing about these services is they’re accessible no matter where you are or what your current circumstances are. Whether you’re a senior living in an assisted care facility, living independently, or homebound due to health concerns, we have virtual companion solutions to help you stay upbeat, engaged, and connected.

What are the advantages?

A digital companion for elderly individuals has a wide variety of benefits including:

Increased Health
Human beings are social creatures, and we’re meant to interact with other people. It’s a foundational aspect of our health and well-being, but socializing becomes increasingly difficult as we age, especially with the unprecedented health risks of the modern day. Through our virtual senior care, elderly individuals can receive the interaction they need to stay healthy both emotionally and psychologically.
Reduced Stress
Going out into public with the risk of getting sick can cause a lot of undue stress on elderly individuals. Even if there’s no threat of catching COVID-19 or another disease, the sheer concern and worry of the potential can have a detrimental impact on a person’s well-being. Our remote companions provide the interaction and attention seniors want without the stress of venturing into public.
Personalized Companions
Our virtual friend services aren’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We treat all of our clients as individuals which means their likes and personal preferences determine what kind of activities we do together. Whether you want to sit down and have a simple conversation over a meal or engage in a special activity such as painting, we custom-tailor our elderly companion services to meet the needs of each client.
