    •    Light meal preparation and shared meals
    •    Medication reminders and hydration support

Emotional and Cognitive Benefitsled?

Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and emotional health.
Regular conversation lowers anxiety, improves sleep, and supports cognitive function by stimulating memory and attention.

By maintaining calm conversation and predictable routines, companion care helps regulate the nervous system—what neuroscience calls “co-regulation”—allowing the senior’s environment itself to become soothing.

What is companion care?

Companion care provides social interaction, emotional support, and light assistance for seniors who live independently but benefit from friendly presence and routine check-ins.

How is companion care different from personal care?

Personal care includes hands-on help like bathing or mobility. Companion care focuses on conversation, meals, errands, and engagement rather than physical assistance.

Do companions help with medication or meals?

They remind clients to take medication on schedule, prepare simple meals, and encourage hydration, but they do not administer medication.

Can companion care include outings or appointments?

Yes. Companions can accompany clients on walks, errands, or appointments for comfort and safety.

How soon can companion services start?

Usually within 24–72 hours after your consultation and care plan setup.

Are your companions trained and screened?

Yes. Each companion passes background checks, completes communication and safety training, and is supervised by a care coordinator.

What areas do you serve?

We provide companion care across Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Morris, Essex, and Bergen Counties in New Jersey.

Common Questions

    
      

What is 24-hour home care?
      It means caregivers are available around-the-clock to provide supervision, safety, and support for all activities of daily living.

      

Is live-in care the same as 24-hour care?
      No — live-in care typically includes overnight breaks, while 24-hour care involves multiple caregivers in rotating shifts with full wake coverage.

      

How quickly can care start?
      In most cases, care can begin the same or next day, depending on client needs and caregiver availability.
