SeniorsTransit introduces a new service, SeniorsTransit Companions, helping seniors and others thrive in their own homes or seniors’ residences through human connection and companionship.
Locally owned and operated, SeniorsTransit was started out of a passion to keep people with mobility issues engaged in their communities and live independently in their own homes. By providing wheelchair accessible and assisted transportation in HRM since 2018, they have become well known for their dependable, safe, and compassionate transportation.
The natural extension of this service, SeniorsTransit Companions, offers a companionship service with the goal of helping people thrive and age in place in their own homes, seniors’ residences, and the community.
Human Connection and social activity is key to mental well being and a healthy lifestyle. SeniorsTransit Companions aims to engage people in meaningful and stimulating activities to achieve that goal while enjoying good company. Through activities, walks, reading, hobbies, crafts, and outings, they can ensure you or your loved one gets the most out of their day. They also can provide med reminders, light housekeeping and meal preparation if needed. They will meet with you and your family to tailor a program that is unique to your interests and goals and prepare a program of activities that fits your needs. Whether it is outings and activities or just enjoying reading or a movie, they want to do what you’re most interested in and enjoy.
Companions also do hospital visits to keep loved one’s company during long hospital stays and they can also provide much needed respite care to give primary caregivers a break when needed.
SeniorsTransit companions are not just for seniors but for anyone needing company or accompaniment to appointments, outings, and errands and can provide safe reliable transportation. Dependability and consistency are crucial when providing in home services for loved ones and because SeniorsTransit offers transportation, they ensure that companions do not miss appointments due to inclement weather or other hold ups. This kind of “back up” for employees to make sure they make their appointments provides peace of mind for families and clients.
All companions are compassionate and experienced working with seniors. They have all cleared criminal and vulnerable persons checks and they are dedicated to improving the lives of others.
