Engaging Activities & Companionship for Older Adults at Heyday

By Monica B., CEO of FUN at Heyday Activities & Events

When families start searching for senior companion services, they often picture someone quietly sitting in the same room, maybe reading a book aloud or watching the clock between conversations. While that might be enough for some, we believe older adults deserve a whole lot more.

At Heyday Activities & Events, we specialize in Engaging Activities & Companionship services for Older Adults—and to us, that means bringing life, energy, and genuine connection into every visit. We don’t do cookie-cutter. We don’t do “just passing the time.” What we do is spark joy, creativity, and real human engagement.

Our Companions are selected and trained not just for their professionalism, but for their personality and passion. We pair each client with someone who matches their interests, energy, and style. Whether it’s crafting together, going on music walks, working on a life story scrapbook, or simply chatting over coffee about anything but the weather, every session is personal, purposeful, and fun.

Here’s a glimpse of what makes us different:

We had a client who absolutely loved game shows but could no longer manage the remote or follow along on TV. So, one of our Companions recreated a full-on Jeopardy-style experience right at her kitchen table—buzzer sounds, cue cards, scorekeeping, and even little prizes. The client lit up with excitement, laughing and answering questions with confidence. That moment didn’t just bring joy—it brought dignity, familiarity, and fun tailored exactly to her.

Moments like that don’t happen by accident—they happen because we care deeply about creating experiences that honor a person’s story, not just fill their schedule.

And while we’re not caregivers or medical professionals, our role is just as meaningful in a different way. We focus on the social and emotional side of wellness—bringing laughter, connection, and lightness to everyday life. Think of us as memory makers, mood lifters, and joy spreaders.

Heyday Companions don’t replace family—we extend it. We’re here for the daughter who lives across the country, the neighbor who’s busy with work, or the community that wants something more vibrant for its residents.

If you’re looking for more than just “someone to be there”—if you want your loved one to truly thrive—then it’s time to make it a Heyday. Click here to learn more about our Activity Companion Services.
