Companion Services
Companion Services is your solution for person-centered care and non-medical assistance in the comfort of your own home or in the setting of your choice. Whether you are a full time caregiver who needs time out of the home to run errands or meet friends or you are concerned about someone in your life who is isolated and could use assistance and socialization, companion services can provide the individualized services you and your loved one desire.
From playing cards to making a meal to running an errand, companion services focuses on supporting the person and enriching their experience at home. Other times, a health situation makes day to day activities temporarily more challenging and companion services can help with filling the gaps.
Companions are also able to provide safety supervision for someone who may be at risk of falls or is showing signs of forgetfulness.
