Caring Connections has announced the launch of its services in the Kansas City area.
It is dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships and improving quality of life for seniors and has a mission to connect them with carefully vetted compassionate companions. Supporting the launch of Caring Connections are Jewish community members Joan Minda, longtime resident of Kansas City (now in Austin, Texas), and Robbie Small, community leader and entrepreneur.
Caring Connections works to bridge the gap and provide trusted one-on-one emotional and intellectual support to enhance the wellbeing of aging adults. The organization strives to address the unique needs of seniors who may feel isolated, lonely or in need of additional social interaction. By pairing seniors with dedicated companions, Caring Connections aims to make a positive impact on the mental, emotional and physical health of older adults.
Each companion is thoroughly screened to ensure that they bring the highest level of integrity, patience, empathy and understanding to their role.
The need for senior companionship is greater than ever. The organization said that social isolation affects over 22 million adults who live alone (30% by 2030). Ninety percent of seniors want to remain in their homes. The consequences of loneliness include the higher risks of dementia, heart disease, stroke, hospital visits and premature death.
Caring Connections offers services that include friendly visits, assistance with daily activities, transportation to appointments, engaging in hobbies, crafts and interests, social outings or simply sharing stories.
