Companion Vs. Personal Care

At Visiting Angels^® Stamford, our in home care provides a wonderful solution for many Darien area seniors. With the help of a kind and loving caregiver in their own home, your loved one is far more likely to retain their home life and avoid the need for an assisted living facility. This situation allows them much more dignity and comfort, which is why we are so proud to offer this service. 

Our home care comes in a variety of options, including personal care and companion care, so it's helpful to understand the details of each. 

With companion care, your loved one will get helpful support and positive companionship. Our caregivers tend to their basic needs and help them maintain their home life. This usually includes things like doing laundry, running errands, and preparing meals. Companion care may include some physical assistance, but the care recipient is mostly independent. Personal care includes everything outlined above, along with physical support as needed. 

For each senior, we conduct an initial care consultation and get to know their specific needs. Our service will be customized to meet their unique situation and deliver the right level of support. Our goal is to help them live safely while still allowing them to retain as much independence as possible. This has a tremendous impact on their mental well-being, and is one of the main benefits of aging in place. We look forward to working with you in determining the right course of action for your loved one.
