Companionship That Brings Comfort and Connection

Companion care is a method of home care that offers non-medical services to seniors or people

with disabilities to make independent living more maintainable. Companion care differs from

personal care. personal care aides (also known as home health aides) may provide some of the

same services as companion care but also help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and

medication management, depending on state regulations & guidelines. The purpose of

companion care is mainly emotional support and socialization, although companions may help

seniors with various tasks including:

• Conversation and joyful companionship
• Shared activities such as games or puzzles
• Going for walks and help with light exercise
• Planning and preparing nutritious meals
• Fall prevention and other safety measures
• Help with light housekeeping and organization
• Transportation to outings or appointments
• Aid with errands such as grocery shopping
• Offering reminders to take medications

Companions generally make regular home visits, which can change in frequency dependent on

the care recipient’s needs. Usually, companions visit at minimum weekly, while some may visit

two to three times per week or every day to help seniors or people with disabilities prepare

meals, take care of laundry, and other light tasks. Schedules may also vary depending on

appointments. If an senior or person with disability has an appointment scheduled outside of

normal visiting hours, companions will may adjust their schedules to accommodate these needs

or take measures for other transportation.
