Frequently Asked Questions

Companion care is a popular service for seniors and disabled adults who need socialization and non-medical assistance but do not require advanced support. While companion care services do not involve medical tasks, professional caregivers play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for aging adults by providing social interaction, emotional support, and practical assistance. In addition, family members will be confident knowing their loved one is receiving safe, compassionate care at home.

Companion care focuses on essential socialization and personal interaction. Our dedicated caregivers will provide a bright spot in your older loved one’s day and provide company and camaraderie they desire. A companion caregiver can be there to converse over a cup of coffee, play a board game, complete a puzzle, and watch a favorite TV show. If your loved one needs help keeping up with housekeeping and errands or transportation assistance to an appointment, our companion caregivers can help bridge that gap.

Social isolation and loneliness can adversely affect seniors by increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Without regular social interaction and companionship, they may experience sadness, hopelessness, and decreased overall well-being.

Seniors may be at a higher risk of social isolation or loneliness due to:

  • Chronic or serious health conditions that limit their ability to leave home Death of close family members, especially a spouse
  • Family and friends who do not live nearby
  • Hearing or vision loss
  • Inability to drive
  • Problems with mobility

Companion care and personal care are both essential components of caregiving, yet they serve distinct purposes.

Companion care focuses on providing emotional support, socialization, and personal interaction.

Personal care involves more direct physical assistance with intimate tasks like bathing, dressing, and toileting to maintain hygiene and physical health. Personal care can also include non-medical assistance for chronic health conditions such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

Every day, once a week, once a month—it's up to you and your loved one on what schedule works best. Our compassionate caregivers are flexible and happy to adjust the timing of visits to your needs and preferences.
