Laurel Care Service by Passion & Purpose

Overview

The Laurel Care service from Passion & Purpose offers personalized, holistic care for seniors, emphasizing dignity, independence, and well-being. Our trained companions provide tailored support, including assistance with daily activities, companionship, emotional support, and light cognitive or physical engagement. Designed to meet the unique needs of each client, this service enhances quality of life through compassionate, person-centered care.

How the Service Works for the Elderly

For elderly clients, the Laurel Care service is crafted to be flexible, nurturing, and responsive to individual needs, whether physical, emotional, or cognitive. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works:

1. Initial Consultation: A Passion & Purpose coordinator conducts a comprehensive phone or in-person consultation to assess the client’s health, preferences, daily routines, and specific needs (e.g., mobility assistance, companionship, or cognitive support). This ensures a customized care plan, such as help with morning routines or engaging in favorite hobbies.
2. Companion Matching: We pair the client with a compassionate, background-checked companion trained in elderly care. Companions are skilled in adaptive techniques, such as assisting with mobility, using clear communication for cognitive support, or providing empathetic companionship, to create a comfortable and trusting environment.
3. Session Setup and Delivery: Sessions occur at the client’s home, assisted living facility, or a community setting, typically lasting 1-3 hours. Companions may assist with daily tasks (e.g., grooming, meal prep, or light housekeeping), engage in activities like reading or puzzles, or offer emotional support through conversation. Activities are tailored to promote independence and joy, with a focus on the client’s preferences.
4. Ongoing Support: Companions monitor the client’s well-being during sessions, adjusting support to ensure comfort and engagement. They prioritize safety, dignity, and a positive atmosphere, incorporating breaks or lighter activities as needed.
5. Follow-Up and Customization: After each session, the companion shares feedback with the coordinator, and clients or families receive updates. Sessions can be scheduled regularly (e.g., daily or weekly) or as needed, with care plans evolving to reflect changing needs or goals.

This approach ensures Laurel Care feels like a warm, supportive partnership, empowering seniors to live with dignity and fulfillment.
