Think companion, activity partner, and friend.
The ideal person is someone who can walk in with positive energy and say, “What should we do today?” Whether that’s watching a movie together, playing a game, doing arts & crafts, taking a walk, going for a drive to grab a snack, shopping, running an errand, or coming up with a fun new activity.

- Watch movies and shows together
- Play games and do arts & crafts
- Go for walks and enjoy activities outside the home
- Drive out for snacks, lunch, shopping, or simple outings

- Encourage conversation, laughter, and positive social interaction
- Prepare simple meals or snacks when needed
- Help make his day active, enjoyable, and engaging
