Why Should You Consider In-Home Companion Care?
Companion care is ideal when you are mostly independent but benefit from help with meals, errands, and social connection. Companion care can ease loneliness, support routines, and reduce risk from isolation.
How Does HomeWorks In-Home Companion Care Work?
Everything starts with a free consultation and then a visit from a HomeWorks registered nurse who learns your goals and creates a care plan. We then match you with a companion based on your needs and preferences. Visits are scheduled at times that fit your routines, and the nurse provides follow-up to keep services on track.
What Is the Difference Between In-Home Companion Care and Home Health Aides (CHHAs)?
Companion care is non-medical and focuses on social engagement and everyday help. CHHAs are certified to assist with personal care such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Many individuals and families begin with companion care and then add or transition to CHHA services when personal care support becomes necessary.
