Companion Care Services in Springfield

How it Differs From Personal Care

If you're exploring companion care services for a family member, you may be wondering how it's different from personal care. At Visiting Angels^® Eugene, we know how important it is to find the right care for your loved one. For families in Springfield, we can always guide you through the care process, with a customized approach for each client. 

Let's review our companion care options. 

How Companion Care Services Differ From Personal Care

While companion care and personal care share similarities, there are a few key distinctions: 

• It's an option for seniors who are still independent. Personal care offers intensive support to those seniors who need assistance with bathing, toileting, and other physical tasks. Companion care is better suited to seniors who retain mobility but still need help around the home.  
• Personal care provides non-medical support. If your family member is dealing with dementia, diabetes, or another chronic condition, personal care includes non-medical assistance. However, if they don't have these health concerns, they may find companion care a more suitable match. 
• Companion care keeps seniors connected. Social isolation is tied to lowered cognition and other health consequences. Companion care services emphasize social contact, keeping seniors connected, alert, and engaged. We help clients throughout Springfield make the most of their days. 

Comprehensive Support For Seniors Throughout Springfield 

For seniors in Springfield, our companion care services make it easier to age in place comfortably. We can reduce the many obstacles they may face on a regular basis: 

• We can manage food prep. Many seniors have a tough time keeping up with mealtimes. From grocery shopping to meal planning and cooking, a caregiver can handle all the aspects of food preparation. 
• We can keep the house in order. Housekeeping can involve straining, reaching, and bending, which might be taxing for older individuals. Our caregivers can take care of light housekeeping, including laundry and dishes. 
• We can help seniors stay social. Our friendly, compassionate caregivers offer a social lifeline to seniors. We also encourage clients to engage in favorite hobbies or arrange travel for social outings.
