Companion Vs. Personal Care

At Visiting Angels^® Southeast Portland, we offer in home care for seniors in Gladstone and the surrounding areas. The purpose of our support is to provide aid for local seniors who wish to remain at home, but need a bit of assistance managing a safe and comfortable environment. Retaining their home life is a more appealing alternative to an assisted living facility, which is why we work so hard to make sure every senior gets the support they need.

We offer a range of care options, so to get started, it's important to understand the details of the two most common choices: personal care and companion care. 

Companion care offers help and companionship around the home from a kind and compassionate senior care professional. This plan will give your loved one a positive presence and a wonderful source of daily social contact, along with some key help with managing their home life. 

Personal care offers all of that, plus physical assistance customized to their needs. This often includes things like mobility aid, bathing help, and more. 

For each senior, we provide an initial complimentary care consultation with family members to determine the right course of action. We look forward to meeting with you and formulating the perfect plan for your loved one's in home care.
