Hearing loss isolates people more quietly than almost anything else. Your mother still goes to church and to her club, but she has stopped following the conversation, stopped asking people to repeat themselves, and started staying home because it is less tiring than smiling and nodding. Companion care for seniors Glen Ellyn IL families arrange with Guided with Grace gives her something group settings cannot: one person, face to face, at a pace she can hear, who makes conversation easy again.
Our companion care is company, errands and outings on a regular schedule. For a parent with hearing loss the companion also knows how to make talking easy: sitting where she can see their face, speaking clearly rather than loudly, and never rushing.
Companionship is often the first help a family arranges and the one kept longest. If she later needs personal care, it can be added to the same visits, and our memory-care caregivers can take over if forgetfulness becomes the issue.
Loneliness in Glen Ellyn rarely looks dramatic. It looks like a parent who has quietly stopped going to things.
One-to-one conversation is still possible when a crowded room is not. A companion gives her that every week.
The library, the grocery store and church are close but not walkable for her. A companion drives.
She used to talk books for hours. A companion who reads the same one gives her a partner again.
She cannot hear you on the phone. A companion sets up captioned video calls so the family can talk to her.
Glen Ellyn gives a companion plenty of places to take a parent.
The Glen Ellyn Senior Center meets in the Grace Lutheran Church building at Forest and Pennsylvania, just north of the Metra station. The Glen Ellyn Park District offers adult and senior classes, workshops and trips, and a bingo with coffee and donuts for ages 55 and older at the Main Street Recreation Center. The village’s Senior Services Office publishes a monthly newsletter of what is on, arranges the annual flu clinic and helps residents apply for Ride DuPage, which gives village residents 65 and older subsidized rides at any hour, for the days a companion is not coming.
Across DuPage County, the DuPage Senior Citizens Council organizes volunteer friendly visits and well-being checks, and AgeGuide’s Family Caregiver Support Program (1-800-528-2000) supports the son or daughter who has been doing the visiting. Hearing and doctor’s appointments at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield or Advocate Good Samaritan in Downers Grove are easier with a companion who can listen for her.
Guided with Grace provides companions in Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Lombard. Learn more about our agency.
For a parent with hearing loss we choose companions with clear, steady voices and a lot of patience, and we brief them on her hearing aids and her preferences. Each companion is screened, background checked and trained before placement, and Guided with Grace is a licensed and insured non-medical home care agency in Illinois.
The same companion visits each week wherever possible, because a familiar voice is easier to understand. If the match is wrong, tell us and we will change it. Details are on the FAQ page.
