Companion Care

At Visiting Angels Chaska, we believe that aging should never mean feeling isolated. That’s why we offer senior companion care services to uplift, engage, and support older adults wherever they call home. Whether your loved one needs friendly conversation, help running errands, or simply a caring presence during the day, our caregivers are here to give seniors something to look forward to with every visit.

We serve families throughout Chaska, MN and the surrounding area including the cities of Eden Prairie, Prior Lake, Waconia, Chanhassen, Shakopee and many more throughout the area. Our caregivers provide the best companion care that promotes independence, safety, and peace of mind—for seniors and their families. 

What Is Companion Care?

Senior companion care is more than just assisting seniors with daily tasks—it’s about building relationships that are meaningful. Our caregivers offer social interaction and a routine that supports emotional and mental health. This is great for seniors who live alone, have limited mobility, are feeling withdrawn from friends and family, or could use an extra hand with household tasks around their home. Our Companion Services include:

• Conversation and companionship
• Interaction with hobbies, puzzles, and other low-impact activities
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping
• Transportation to appointments, the grocery store, or local events
• Reminders to take medication as prescribed, to stay hydrated, and get to appointments
• Support during transitions (e.g., post-hospital or TCU recovery)
  

We personalize every care plan to fit your senior’s unique lifestyle, needs, and preferences.

FAQs About Companion Care

How Can Social Isolation and Loneliness Affect Seniors?
Social isolation and loneliness can adversely affect seniors by increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Without regular social interaction and companionship, they may experience sadness, hopelessness, and decreased overall well-being.

Seniors may be at a higher risk of social isolation or loneliness due to:

• Chronic or serious health conditions that limit their ability to leave home Death of close family members, especially a spouse
• Family and friends who do not live nearby
• Hearing or vision loss
• Inability to drive
• Problems with mobility

What’s the Difference Between Companion Care and Personal Care?
Companion care and personal care are both essential components of caregiving, yet they serve distinct purposes.

Companion care focuses on providing emotional support, socialization, and personal interaction.

Personal care involves more direct physical assistance with intimate tasks like bathing, dressing, and toileting to maintain hygiene and physical health. Personal care can also include non-medical assistance for chronic health conditions such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

How Often Will You Visit My Loved One?
Every day, twice a week—it's up to you and your loved one on what schedule works best, we require at least (2) 4-hour shifts per week, but other than that the possibilities are endless. Our care plans are flexible and we can adjust the timing of visits to your needs and preferences.
