The Unique Aspects of Companion Care and Personal Care

Companion care is part of our in home care services for the Fontana area. This program focuses on helping seniors live safely and comfortably at home. Our caregivers can improve the quality of life for seniors who live alone and/or away from their families. You will find that we pair our caregivers and clients based on compatibility. This helps ensure your loved one's comfort with their in home companion.

The following services are included in our companion care program:

• Companionship for errands, outings, and appointments
• Friendly conversation
• Taking part in hobbies and activities
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping
• Meal preparation

Our personal care program is similar to companion care, but it includes more physical assistance for our clients. Personal care is perfect for seniors who are living with chronic conditions or disabilities. Our caregivers help their clients maintain a high level of independence while aging in place. We are able to help with mobility and tasks that require strength and coordination.

Here's what you can expect from our personal care program:

• Dementia and Alzheimer's care
• Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, toileting)
• Mobility and transfer assistance
• Meal planning and preparation
• Stroke recovery
• ALS care
