Companion vs Personal Care

When exploring in home care options in Key Biscayne, FL, many people find it hard to distinguish between companion care and personal care. However, understanding the differences between the two will ensure you can make the best choice for yourself or a loved one. 

The main factor separating companion care and personal care is direct physical assistance. A companion caregiver can assist with household tasks, provide medication reminders, and offer friendly company to ease loneliness. 

Personal caregivers have the training and skills to provide one-on-one assistance with Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs. These can include everything from a steady hand for balance while walking to dignified help with bathing, toileting, and grooming. Personal caregivers are recommended for individuals with limited mobility or chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, COPD, diabetes, or Parkinson's.
