Companion Vs. Personal Care

At Visiting Angels^® Chicago Lakeshore, our in home care adapts to the specific needs of Lakeview area seniors. The goal of our service is to make sure your relative has the proper support needed to continue living at home. A consistent home life is ideal for most seniors, but not all of them can manage this on their own. With our support, your loved one will have a friendly helper and companion to share their day and keep them safe. 

To figure out the best option for your parent or relative, the first thing to do is familiarize yourself with the difference between companion care and personal care. These are our two most popular options, so it's a great place to start. 

Companion care is the right solution for most seniors who don't have any specific requirements. It offers basic help to make their home life easier and more manageable. We offer companionship and assist with things like laundry and light housework, but do not offer any physical assistance as part of this plan. 

Personal care covers all of that with physical help tacked on. This program is aimed at seniors who struggle to keep up with daily bathing and grooming tasks and could use a bit of professional care in these areas. 

Whether your loved one needs constant one-on-one support or just a bit of extra help around the house, we provide the customized service needed to help them age safely at home.
