Caring Companions of San Antonio
By Yvonne November 07, 2011
I'm deeply appreciative of the care and attention from everyone I've had contact with at Caring Companions. I believe that you and I talked on the phone at least once; Patrick was the name of one of my dearest friends (so I noticed). There's a lot of behind-the-scenes staff and work for any organization, but esp. for one like CC where extra sensitivity is necessary. You all deserve kudos for sharing your caring when and where you make huge, positive differences for so many people. Take care and time to nurture yourself. Yvonne ...read more

Finding perfect gifts from Grandparents
With the holidays approaching, shoppers are making their lists and checking them twice. Undoubtedly, there are some blanks, as buying for grandparents often stymies children and grandchildren alike. Today’s grandparents are a unique bunch, with a number of traditional apple-pie bakers, knitters and chess players that are just as likely to be tech savvy or connected to their children and grandchildren on Facebook. In fact, according to a survey by Consumer Cellular, 67 percent of consumers 50 or older are on Facebook and desire a smartphone for easy Web access; 60 percent want to download financial apps, travel discounts and other offers. If the grandparents on your list enjoy the latest gadgets, consider these holiday gift ideas: Share the memories: Pre-load a digital album with the best photos from the past year, including holidays, birthdays, celebrations, vacations and everyday moments. For grandparents who live out of town, such a gift bridges the distance and keeps children and grandchildren connected. Stay in touch: Select a cell phone that grandparents can use to keep in touch with loved ones, and consider paying for a plan for the first year. It doesn’t have to break the bank. Consumer Cellular offers no-contract plans for as little as $10 a month. From the Doro Phone Easy 410, equipped with large buttons, a bright screen and an emergency call function, to the Motorola Bravo smartphone, Consumer Cellular has phones to suit every personality and price point. For grandparents who are less technology oriented, think about these alternatives: Plan a night out (or in): Pick up vouchers to a movie, concert or other special event that grandparents can enjoy. Or, as kids’ schedules are packed these days, consider planning a family outing to ensure some quality time with grandparents. Home-made certificates for a classic movie marathon or a game night are an affordable way to enjoy each other’s company at home. Dinner, on you: A special dinner is always appreciated. For grandparents, a gift certificate to one of their favorite restaurants is a good way to ensure a great meal without the hassle of cleaning up! Create brag books: Use an online photo book site to create brag books for all of the grandparents. Make several copies of one version to save time, and you may even cross some aunts and uncles off your list, too. If grandma loves to brag, keep the album small enough for her pocketbook so that she’s always prepared. Any of these ideas – or your own special variations of them – are sure to bring smiles to grandparents at the holidays. ...read more

We provide one-on-one dementia and Alzheimer's care.
Nearly six million individuals in the United States and Canada alone have Alzheimer's disease and related dementia - a number that is expected to reach nearly 20 million in the next five decades. These are not just statistics; they represent millions of families with loved ones who require special senior care, both at home and in assisted living facilities. You are not alone. We have been providing families like yours one-on-one Alzheimer's care and dementia care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. We provide caregivers with the latest in Alzheimer's education and dementia care techniques, so you can be assured your loved one is with a trusted professional. Understanding what your loved one is experiencing can only come from attempting to walk in their shoes. Our virtual dementia tour provides an opportunity to spend some time in the world of dementia. Our caregivers can help- · Maintain a safe environment · Manage changing behaviors · Provide nutritious meals · Provide mind-stimulating activities · Create social interaction · Supervise daily activities Caregivers can also provide assistance with enhancing and restoring the simple pleasures of life, such as a walk, a hobby or spending time in the garden. Activates of this nature have proven to help diminish the sense of losing purpose for people with Alzheimer's, especially those who are younger when they're diagnosed. Social activities keep the brain busy. With baby boomers reaching the age when the chances of being diagnosed begin to rise, the number of people with Alzheimer's is expected to triple over the next 40 years. We work closely with the local Alzheimer’s Association for support and continued education. Workshops are offered for caregivers and family members.
