Companion and Personal Care
From doing the laundry and taking out the garbage to reading out loud or playing cards, professionals in companion and personal care serve as another body within the home. They’re available to help remind patients when to take their medications, keep up around the house and even drive someone to a hair appointment. Both services differ slightly in how they work.
What is Companion and Personal Care
The purpose of companion care is to offer company and friendship. Companions may help with certain household chores, such as laying out towels before a shower, but their primary purpose is to spend time with the patient. Grown children may want to hire companions to keep an eye on their aging parents, for example. Some of the services offered by companionship care include:
- Transportation
- Reading a book aloud
- Playing games
- Accompanying the patient for a walk outside
- Letter writing
Our personal care services are provided to seniors who require assistance with activities of daily living. In addition to caring for elderly adults, our personal care providers also work with disabled individuals and those recovering from illness, injury, or a hospital stay.
