What Companion Care Includes

Companion care focuses on everyday support that makes life easier and more enjoyable:

• Meal planning & home-cooked meals tailored to tastes and dietary needs

• Grocery shopping & pantry organization to keep healthy staples on hand

• Light housekeeping & laundry to maintain a tidy, safe living space

• Medication reminders and hydration prompts as part of a daily routine

• Conversation, games, and hobbies that spark joy and reduce isolation

• Transportation & errands for appointments, social visits, and shopping

• Technology help (video calls, online grocery orders, reminders)

• Safety check-ins and gentle daily structure that build confidence

Companion visits can stand alone or be combined with other services available on our Care Services page.

Nutrition at Home: Fresh, Flexible, and Personal

Good meals are at the heart of feeling well. Our caregivers make eating enjoyable and effortless:

• Personalized menus: We learn favorite flavors, textures, and family recipes.

• Diet-aware cooking: Low-sodium, heart-healthy, diabetic-friendly, and gluten-free options as directed by the care plan.

• Seasonal variety: Fresh produce, simple recipes, and appealing presentation to encourage appetite.

• Make-ahead convenience: Batch cooking, labeled containers, and easy reheat instructions for busy days.

• Hydration habits: Infused water, herbal teas, and gentle reminders throughout the day.

If needs grow, we can blend companion meals with additional support or schedule around-the-clock coverage through programs available from our Care Services team.

A Safer, Easier Kitchen Experience

We help set up the kitchen for comfort and safety:

• Smart organization: Frequently used items placed within easy reach; clear labeling for spices and staples.

• Simple tools: Easy-grip utensils, lightweight cookware, and mess-free prep gadgets.

• Healthy techniques: Roasting, steaming, and sautéing that protect nutrients and enhance flavor without excess salt.

These small adjustments reduce effort and make mealtimes something to look forward to.

Social Connection: The Heart of Companion Care

Loneliness can affect mood, appetite, and overall health. Companions bring warmth and routine back into the day:

• Shared meals & conversation that turn nutrition into a social moment

• Walks, music, puzzles, and cards to stimulate body and mind

• Outings to local events or markets when appropriate

• Family connection support: Help with photo sharing, video calls, and calendar reminders

Companion visits are flexible—choose a few hours, several days a week, or extended coverage. See scheduling options and related programs on Care Services.

Special Diets & Health Considerations

We follow the care plan and family guidance to support:

• Heart-healthy, low-sodium cooking

• Diabetes-friendly meals with balanced carbohydrates and fiber

• Gluten-free and allergy-aware menus

• Light, frequent meals to encourage steady nutrition

As needs change, your coordinator can adjust menus, visit length, and activities to keep care aligned with health goals.

Flexible Scheduling—From Hourly Visits to 24/7 Support

Choose the rhythm that fits your routine:

• Hourly companion visits (morning routines, lunchtime check-ins, evening meal and wind-down)

• Longer blocks for shopping, appointments, and social time

• Overnights for reassurance and better rest

• 24-hour coverage when more consistent support is needed

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companion care focuses on meals, housekeeping, transportation, safety check-ins, and social engagement. Personal care adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and toileting as outlined in the care plan.

Do caregivers really cook?
Yes. Caregivers plan menus, shop, and prepare home-cooked meals that match preferences and dietary guidance—plus make-ahead portions for later.

Can you accommodate special diets?
We follow the care plan for low-sodium, diabetes-friendly, gluten-free, and other dietary needs and adjust recipes as tastes change.

How quickly can visits start?
Often within a few days. We’ll complete an in-home assessment, match a compatible caregiver, and set your preferred schedule.

Can we add hours later?
Absolutely. Start small and expand to more days, evenings, overnights, or 24/7 support as needed.
