What do we offer?
Elaine Cares offers a valuable service by providing companionship and social interaction to older adults, helping them maintain their mental and emotional well-being and combat the negative effects of isolation.
Elaine Cares' Solution
We provide companion care services by matching clients with trained staff members.
These staff members engage their clients with activities like:
- Board Games
- Arts and Crafts
- Simply sitting and conversing
- And more
What we don't offer?
The primary focus of Elaine Cares is on social and emotional stimulation, rather than medical care. Our staff are NOT healthcare professionals.
Healthcare professionals, with their busy schedules and focus on medical needs, often lack the time and resources to provide the level of social and emotional support offered by Elaine Cares. Elaine Cares fills the social and emotional gap.
