In Home Care in Nowata

Companion vs Personal Care

Companion care and personal care are two of the most popular in home care options available to seniors in Nowata, OK. However, many seniors and their families are unsure of the differences between the two. 

The main distinction between the two is direct physical assistance. Both options offer help with daily household tasks, such as light housework, organizing, running errands, and changing bed linens. Both companion and personal caregivers can also provide transportation, medication reminders, and companionship. 

What sets a personal caregiver apart is their ability to assist with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). ADLs include help getting out of bed in the morning, bathing, toileting, and walking assistance. Personal care is often recommended for seniors and disabled adults with limited mobility or chronic conditions, such as COPD, dementia, Parkinson’s, and diabetes.
