Companion Care Services in Northeast Portland

How It Differs From Personal Care

What's the difference between personal care and companion care services? At Visiting Angels^® Gresham, we're always here to answer any questions from families in Northeast Portland. In fact, our care team will be there every step of the way, making it easier to set up comprehensive support when you need it. 

When you're trying to choose between care options for a family member, we know these decisions can become quickly agonizing. Let's review our care options, so you have an idea of what to expect.  

Choosing Care Options in Northeast Portland 

For families in Northeast Portland, here's what to know about our personal and companion care services: 

• Companion care provides wide-ranging support. This care option is ideal for seniors who retain some level of mobility and independence, but still need support with wide-ranging tasks. From light housekeeping to making meals, we make it more seamless for seniors to live at home comfortably. 
• Personal care offers more advanced assistance. Personal care services are designed for seniors who deal with more advanced challenges, especially those who struggle with mobility or chronic health concerns. Crucially, our personal caregivers can assist with daily living tasks such as grooming, toileting, or bathing. 
• Your loved one's care plan can be updated. Everyone's needs change over time. Your loved one may initially benefit from companion care, but their needs might become more advanced at a certain point. We make it easy to update the level of support they're getting, for flexible and thoughtful care. 

3 Benefits of Our Companion Care Services 

Let's review a few benefits of companion care: 

• Social contact. Regular conversation and companionship can strengthen cognition and reduce depression or anxiety. We offer regular, friendly social conversation and emotional support for our clients. 
• Help around the home. Everyday housekeeping can become increasingly challenging for seniors. We take on light housekeeping, cooking, and grocery shopping, so they don't have to worry about these tasks. 
• Logistics and admin. From scheduling haircuts to setting up social activities, our caregivers make it easy for clients to keep a busy calendar. We can also communicate with your family, to ensure you always know how your loved one is faring.
