What Is Companion Care?

Companion care is a type of home care service that helps seniors with day-to-day tasks and social interaction.

Unlike medical healthcare services, companion care focuses on emotional support, social activities, and help with daily routines. This type of senior care helps older adults stay independent in their own homes instead of having to move to an assisted living facility or nursing home. In-home care has many benefits and can help your loved one live a happy, healthy life.

What Is the Difference Between Companion Care and a Caregiver?

There are two types of helpers for seniors: companion caregiver and caregiver that provides personal care. Companion caregiving is usually for short periods and provides relief for the main caregiver. Full-time caregivers stay with the senior longer and focus on more long-term care.

A companion caregiver:

• Offers friendship and conversation
• Helps with easy tasks around the house
• Makes sure they don't feel lonely

A caregiver that provides personal care does all of the above and also helps with:

• Getting dressed
• Taking baths
• Moving around safely

Our care team will talk with you about what your family member needs. Then we can help you decide which type of care is best for your loved one.
