What’s the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companionship focuses on conversation, connection, and engagement, while personal care covers hands on help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. Many clients benefit from both.
Can companionship include light errands or outings?

What happens if my regular caregiver is unavailable?

How do you match companions with clients?
We consider personality, interests, and daily routine, and adjust the match if it isn't working well for your family.
How often can companionship visits be scheduled?

What does personal care include?
Personal care covers help with bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, and other daily living activities, along with medication reminders and light meal support.
