What Is Companion Care?
Companion care focuses on social engagement and non-medical support rather than personal care. A companion caregiver provides meaningful conversation, assistance with hobbies, help with errands and appointments, light meal preparation, and medication reminders. Companion care is ideal for seniors who are largely independent but live alone, or who need someone to check in regularly. It can be scheduled for a few hours a week or daily. Companion care is the most flexible of our services and often serves as an introduction to home care before more intensive needs arise. Our companion care rate starts at $40/hr.
