Comfort Keepers Home Care Santa Clarita staff take an “interactive caregiving” approach with seniors in an effort to help keep them active and engaged.

“We interact with our clients in a way where we involve them in their care and get them up and sharing their most recent recipe or what they used to do,” said Myles McNamara, president and owner. “It’s keeping our seniors active and engaged.”

Because of the crucial role that companionship plays in this interactive caregiving approach, McNamara noted that pairing clients with the right Comfort Keeper is a big part of the initial assessment.

“Part of our initial assessment when we go in and meet our clients for the first time to put together our care plan is to see what skill sets and what needs are to be met, but then, it’s (also about) what type of caregiver will be the best fit,” McNamara explained. “We’re pretty darn good at making that match, and our clients and our caregivers usually form a bond and they look forward to their visits.” 

Providing proactive companionship for a senior who has become depressed or isolated is another key component of interactive caregiving with Comfort Keepers Home Care Santa Clarita, according to McNamara. 

“Don’t undersell the aspect of companionship if you have an aging loved one who is sitting at home by themselves, or maybe they’re depressed, kind of cut off from their social activities of the past, because maybe they lost a spouse of 30, 40, 50 years,” McNamara said. “So there’s a lot of proactive companionship.” 

McNamara encouraged seniors and their loved ones not to wait until an emergency like a slip-and-fall or a broken hip to enlist their non-medical assistance with activities of daily living. 

“We can be very proactive,” he said. “We’re that helping hand that comes in and we are with our seniors to help with meal preparation, help them with personal hygiene if need be, help them in and out of the shower — just keep them safe in their own home.”
