What do Companions do?
Our companion care is a form of home care offering non-medical services to older adults or people with disabilities. Companion care differs from home health care in that personal care aides (also known as home health aides) may provide the same services as companion care but NOT help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. The goal of companion care is primarily emotional support and socialization, although companions may help older adults with a variety of tasks including:
Light housekeeping
Other household chores such as washing clothing and dishes
Running errands such as grocery shopping
Planning and scheduling appointments and social activities
Transportation to appointments and other activities
Preparing meals
Socialization and entertainment
Communicating with family members and other care team professionals
And more
