What is Companion Care?

Companion care, sometimes referred to as companionship care, is a fundamental type of in-home support that addresses the social, emotional, and practical needs of seniors and adults who benefit from having a supportive presence. This focus on interaction helps to combat loneliness and reduce feelings of isolation. Our partner, Preferred Care at Home, provides dedicated caregivers who ensure your loved one remains safe, comfortable, and connected within the familiar environment of their own home.

Unlike skilled nursing, companion care concentrates on creating a stimulating and cheerful atmosphere, ensuring your loved one is well-cared for and actively participating in life. We proudly connect you with providers who tailor their services to fit individual routines and preferences.

Companion Care FAQs

What is companion care?

Companion care is a fundamental, non-medical in-home support service focused on the social, emotional, and practical needs of seniors and adults who benefit from having a supportive presence. It is designed to combat loneliness, reduce feelings of isolation, and ensure your loved one remains safe, comfortable, and actively engaged within the familiar environment of their own home.

How much does companion care cost?

The cost of companion care is based on an hourly rate, usually $25-$35+ per hour, and the total expense is determined by the number of hours of care provided each week. Our services are flexible, and we create a customized schedule for each client. For specific pricing in the Sumner County area, we encourage you to contact us directly for a free consultation to discuss your needs and receive a precise quote.

What services are included in a typical companion care visit?

Companion caregivers focus on enriching the client's quality of life and providing practical assistance. Services typically include:

  • Social Engagement: Meaningful conversation, reading aloud, playing games, or sharing hobbies to keep the mind sharp.

  • Meal Preparation: Assistance with planning and preparing nutritious meals that align with dietary needs.

  • Light Housekeeping: Help with general tidiness, including laundry, dusting, vacuuming, and organizing common areas.

  • Medication Reminders: Gentle reminders to ensure all prescriptions are taken on schedule.

  • Transportation and Errands: Providing transportation to appointments, running essential errands like grocery shopping, and accompanying clients to social outings.

How does companion care differ from personal care or home health care?

Companion care is strictly non-medical and focuses on companionship and household support. It does not include hands-on assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, or transferring. Personal care includes those hands-on physical tasks, while home health care is provided by a licensed nurse or therapist for medical tasks. Our companion care is an ideal solution for those who primarily need social support and help with light duties.

Who can benefit most from companion care?

Companion care is best suited for seniors or adults who are generally independent and do not require extensive physical assistance, but who:

  • Live alone and are at risk for loneliness or social isolation.

  • Could benefit from a consistent presence to prevent falls and ensure home safety.

  • Need assistance with errands, light cleaning, or meal preparation to maintain their independent lifestyle.

  • Have family caregivers who need scheduled time off (respite care).
