Companion care, explained

What is companion care?

Companion care is non-medical home care built around company, routine and practical help. It suits a parent who can still bathe and dress but should not be alone all day.

A companion caregiver talks with your parent, keeps them active and helps around the house. They cook, tidy up, run errands and go with your parent to appointments.

If your parent also needs hands-on help with bathing or dressing, we add personal care to the same visits.
