The Unique Aspects of Companion Care and Personal Care

Companion care is a type of in home care that can be beneficial for seniors who live alone in the Bristol area. Loneliness and isolation are common among seniors who live independently, but companionship can combat these emotions. Companion caregivers make daily life more fulfilling for their clients. They can provide friendly conversation, accompany your loved one for walks or errands, and take part in hobbies.

Personal care is another type of in home care that differs from companion care. It typically involves your loved one's caregiver assisting them with ADLs or activities of daily living. Personal care involves much more physical assistance in and around the home. This program is great for seniors who are living with chronic conditions or disabilities.

Here are some of the services included in our personal care program:

• Light housekeeping
• Mobility assistance
• Meal planning and preparation
• Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting
• Running errands
• Medication reminders

Choosing the right care program for your loved one can be difficult. The best way to start the process is to discuss with your loved one what types of care they may need. You can also seek the help of their doctor, who will be able to give some suggestions.
