When a loved one needs help to live safely and comfortably at home, companion care is an option that could support them as they age in place. This form of home care includes a wide range of services that help seniors with their day-to-day tasks and basic activities that may be too challenging to complete on their own. With assistance from a care provider at Visiting Angels^® Avondale, your loved one can avoid losing their independence and enjoy living at home for years to come.

What is Companion Care For the Avondale Area?

It's no surprise that companion care is one of the most frequently requested service types at Visiting Angels Avondale. As it covers a spectrum of caregiving duties, including the services many seniors require as they begin to experience age-related challenges, it is a great choice for older adults who need a bit of help at home.

Care plans in this category are typically comprised of various services that make daily life safer and more comfortable for the care recipient. For example, a care provider could run errands to the grocery store or pharmacy, cook meals regularly, and do some light housework.

In addition to support with daily activities, this type of care can improve care recipients' quality of life in several other ways. Our care providers are eager to converse with seniors, participate in their favorite hobbies, and accompany them to social events. These forms of interaction can make a huge difference in lowering care recipients' risk of senior isolation.

As you consider the type of care that would be best for your loved one, it's important to note that companion care does not include advanced caregiving services or physical assistance. These services are reserved for the category of personal care. Examples of specific tasks that do not fall under the umbrella of companion caregiving are help with getting dressed, bathing or showering, and using the toilet. If your loved one requires assistance to complete these tasks or support with a chronic health condition, personal care will be a better option for them.
