What Every Family in Winnipeg, MB Needs to Know About Comfort Keepers Care Services for Seniors

Interactive Caregiving is an approach that enhances our seniors’ quality of life. One of the most difficult parts of growing older is losing long-time friends. In-home caregivers, however, can provide companionship as they assist seniors with the tasks of daily living.

In addition to homemaking and personal care, in-home caregivers offer seniors an ear and someone to talk with. Comfort Keepers can share in a senior’s favourite pastimes; playing a board game, going for a walk, or attending a social organization or church function.

What is Interactive Caregiving? 

Activities are as essential to a senior’s well-being as Comfort Keeper’s homemaking and personal care services. As a core component of our Interactive Caregiving philosophy, activities help keep seniors active and engaged. These activities invigorate a senior’s physical, mental and emotional health to elevate their quality of life.

Interactive Caregiving: Unique Approach to Senior Care

Studies show that mentally stimulated and physically active seniors enjoy a better quality of life and well-being. Transforming daily activities into interactive activities helps keep seniors strong. It improves their health and outlook and helps reduce the risk for injury, depression, and symptoms of dementia.

As much as possible, Comfort Keepers strives to match seniors with Comfort Keepers® (the name Comfort Keepers gives to their caregivers) who have similar personalities and interests, to help easily forge the bond of companionship and Interactive Caregiving. As in any relationship, a senior and in-home caregiver needs time to get to know one another. 

Having someone come into his or her home may seem awkward at first to a senior, but the level of comfort increases as each becomes familiar with the other—and the caregiver learns the senior’s routines and preferences.

Interactive Caregiving and The Benefits of Aging-in-Place

By nature, in-home care helps foster relationships between caregivers and seniors. Staying in familiar home environments naturally puts seniors at ease. They are surrounded by all of their personal belongings and memories—from family photographs on the walls to the furnishings that reflect their tastes, to the hobbies that help define them. All of these serve the caregiver as an icebreaker and quick study to get to know and understand the unique individual in their care.

And more than likely, a friendship will develop and blossom with the senior and caregiver both looking forward to their time together.

Everyone benefits from a good, healthful relationship—the senior, the caregiver, and the senior’s family. When a good relationship is developed, the family can relax knowing their loved one is getting beneficial care—at times when they are occupied by work and other obligations—from someone they and their loved one trust.
