Home Care Services
Companion Care
Companion Care provides assistance for adults that allows them to feel safe and comfortable while remaining in their home environment with a sense of independence. Companion Care can be offered at-home, in a hospital setting or healthcare facility and covers a broad range of home care services. This makes it an excellent choice for seniors or disabled adults who need a bit of help in their current environment but not advanced caregiving services.
This type of care is designed to improve the quality of life in several ways and can include regular visits, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and transportation. Having assistance with these household duties and companionship can help with avoiding social isolation, which has been shown to increase risk of health complications and mortality in seniors.
The Difference?
When deciding between personal care or companion care for seniors or disabled adults, it is helpful to know the differences between the two services.
Companion care involves assisting with daily activities such as doing laundry, making meals, and assisting with errands. This type of care does not include physical assistance with bathing, toileting, or dressing. Personal Care covers all of the duties of Companion Care while also providing physical assistance to clients.
