Companion Vs. Personal Care

At Visiting Angels^® Greenville, we provide flexible in home care for seniors in Morehead City. Our aim is to deliver assistance and companionship into their homes and allow them to avoid the move to assisted living. Our service comes in several different forms, the two most common of which are companion care and personal care. If you believe your loved one needs assistance around the home, the first step is to familiarize yourself with these two options. 

Companion care refers to helping with normal daily tasks like cleaning, washing clothes, and keeping up with errands. Basically, we assist your loved one with their daily life in order to make things easier for them. 

With personal care, all of the above is included along with additional physical assistance. This can include help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and so on. Personal care can also provide specific assistance to those with Alzheimer's or dementia. 

For most seniors, companion care is the ideal solution, as it gives them the assistance they need while allowing them to maintain more independence. However, if your relative needs something a bit more interactive, our personal care is probably the way to go.
