Our Companion Care Services

Companion Care vs. Personal Care

Companion care and personal care are two types of in-home caregiving. While both options might seem similar, they each provide distinct services to patients and their families.

Companion care focuses on providing social and emotional support. Instead of delivering medical care, this service supports patients who may feel isolated or lonely at home. As part of this service, patients can request assistance with nonmedical tasks, including light housekeeping and running errands. The companion caregiver can also keep the client company while helping with other everyday tasks like meal preparation.

Personal care focuses on physical assistance and support. Personal care workers train to help patients with personal tasks like hygiene and toileting. Caregivers understand how to assist with medication management and offer transportation services. These services help patients receive needed support to complete daily activities and routines, making managing their household easier. Patients can feel more independent and comfortable while staying in their own homes.

What Are the Benefits of Companion Care?

Having access to at-home companion care offers patients consistent emotional and social support. Older adults, especially those who live alone, often experience social isolation. Having a familiar face around can make a big difference for these patients’ health and wellbeing. 

Some of the benefits of companion care include: 

• Provide companionship: While our caregivers can assist with daily nonmedical tasks, they are also there to provide companionship and the chance for patients to interact with the outside world. Patients can have someone to play cards or a board game with. Having someone around can help make daily tasks and life more satisfying and fulfilling.
• Create a routine: Our caregivers are available whenever patients need assistance. Setting up regular visits and services can create a comfortable routine and give patients something to look forward to consistently.
