How a companion caregiver can help
Compassion Home Care provides practical household support and genuine companionship while encouraging each participant to stay involved in the activities they can still do independently.
- Conversation, shared activities and social engagement
- Accompaniment on walks, appointments or approved outings
- Meal preparation and mealtime companionship
- Grocery shopping and essential errands
- Light housekeeping, laundry and dishes
- Mail sorting and basic household organization
- Medication reminders
- Respite for an unpaid family caregiver, when included in the care plan
Companion care may be a fit when
- A person lives alone and would benefit from regular social contact
- Family members cannot visit as often as they would like
- Meals, laundry or errands are becoming difficult
- A participant needs reminders or standby support with daily routines
- An unpaid caregiver needs scheduled time to rest or manage other responsibilities
Companion and homemaker services do not include hands-on personal care. If bathing, dressing or toileting help is needed, ask about personal care assistance.
