MF Family Home Care provides companion care on Cape Cod for older adults who are managing physically but spending far too much time alone. It is the service families most often dismiss and most often regret dismissing.
A person who is eating, moving, talking and leaving the house declines far more slowly than one who is not. Twelve hours a week of company at seventy-eight is cheaper, in every sense, than round-the-clock care at eighty-one.
Real conversation, not supervision. Someone who asks about the photographs on the wall and listens to the answer.
The grocery store, the pharmacy, the doctor, the hairdresser — with company on the drive rather than a taxi.
A walk, a coffee, a trip to the beach in the off-season when it is empty and beautiful.
Eating alone is one of the most reliable reasons older adults stop eating properly.
Whatever the person actually enjoys rather than whatever an activity list suggests.
A companion notices the bruise, the unopened mail, the confusion that was not there last month — and tells the family.
One call, a free visit at home, and a written plan you can change. Most families begin smaller than they expect.
Tell us what is happening and what a normal day looks like now compared with six months ago.
We come to the house and look at the practical things — the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, the hours when nobody is around.
Most families begin smaller than they expect and adjust within the first month. No long-term contract is required to begin.
The questions families ask us most, answered plainly.
