FAQs About Companion Care

Companion care is a valuable service for seniors and disabled adults who need socialization and non-medical assistance but do not require advanced medical support. While these services do not include medical tasks, professional caregivers play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for aging adults by providing social interaction, emotional support, and practical help. Family members can rest assured knowing their loved one is receiving safe and compassionate care at home.

Companion care emphasizes essential socialization and personal interaction. Our dedicated caregivers are there to brighten your loved one’s day, offering companionship through activities like:

  • Conversing over coffee
  • Playing board games
  • Completing puzzles
  • Watching favorite TV shows

In addition, if your loved one needs help with housekeeping, errands, or transportation to appointments, our companion caregivers can provide that necessary support.

Social isolation and loneliness can significantly impact seniors, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Without regular social interaction and companionship, they may experience feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a decline in overall well-being.

Seniors are particularly vulnerable to social isolation due to:

  • Chronic or serious health conditions that limit mobility
  • The loss of close family members, especially spouses
  • Family and friends who live far away
  • Hearing or vision loss
  • Inability to drive
  • Mobility issues

While both companion care and personal care are vital components of caregiving, they serve different purposes:

  • Companion Care: Focuses on emotional support, socialization, and personal interaction.
  • Personal Care: Involves direct physical assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and toileting, aimed at maintaining hygiene and physical health. Personal care can also include non-medical support for chronic health conditions like diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

The frequency of visits can be tailored to your loved one's needs—whether daily, weekly, or monthly. Our compassionate caregivers are flexible and happy to adjust their schedules to accommodate your preferences.
