“Because every moment matters.”

At Ourway Dementia Services, we believe that care should not only protect — it should enrich. Our Engagement Companion Services are designed to support emotional well-being, encourage independence, and foster meaningful connection for individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cognitive decline, or simply those who would benefit from companionship and purposeful interaction. Our companions offer more than just supervision; they create joyful, engaging moments that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.

What We Do:

Our Engagement Companions are compassionate, attentive, and professionally trained to adapt each visit to the client’s personality, interests, and comfort level. Activities may include:

• Stimulating Conversation: Encouraging memory, communication, and laughter through thoughtful dialogue.
• Reading & Reminiscence: Reading books, poetry, or scripture aloud, and looking through photo albums to spark familiar memories.
• Music & Sensory Activities: Playing favorite songs, exploring textures, scents, or engaging in calming sensory-based experiences.
• Creative Expression: Simple arts and crafts, coloring, or personalized memory projects that inspire self-expression.
• Puzzles & Games: Light, adaptive games designed for focus, enjoyment, and cognitive support.
• Nature Walks & Gardening: Gentle outdoor strolls or hands-on planting and flower care to promote calm and connection to nature.
• Faith-Based Support: Prayer, devotionals, or gospel music, when requested, for spiritual comfort.

Also Perfect for High-Functioning Clients:

Not all our clients require hands-on care — some simply want someone to share life with. For those who are high-functioning or semi-independent, our Engagement Companions offer social connection and freedom, while also adding a layer of safety and support.

These companions can assist with:

• Grocery Shopping & Errands
• Going to the Movies or Lunch Outings
• Attending Church Services or Community Events
• Walking at the Park or Mall
• Accompaniment to Appointments or Salons

Whether it’s enjoying a favorite film or running errands together, our companions ensure clients stay active, involved, and uplifted; without feeling alone.

Why It Matters:

Studies show that isolation and loneliness significantly impact cognitive and emotional health. Engagement Companion Services provide positive interaction, mental stimulation, and reassurance; while also offering respite and peace of mind for families.

Personalized, Not Prescribed:

At Ourway Dementia Services, we take time to understand the individual behind the diagnosis. We learn your loved one’s favorite hobbies, past careers, and personal preferences so each engagement is meaningful and dignified. Whether they’re a retired teacher who still enjoys reading aloud or a former fashion-lover who wants a day at the mall, we make it happen with compassion and professionalism.

Who It’s For:

• Clients with early-stage dementia or mild memory loss
• High-functioning seniors who want companionship
• Medically fragile adults needing emotional support
• Family caregivers needing relief and peace of mind

From one family to another, we’re here to help your loved one live fully, joyfully, and with dignity.
