Companion care is a type of in-home care service that provides socialization and assistance with daily activities for individuals who are older, disabled, or recovering from an illness or surgery. Companion care services can include assistance with tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and transportation. Additionally, companion caregivers can provide emotional support and companionship by engaging in activities such as reading, playing games, and going for walks. The goal of companion care is to help individuals maintain their independence and improve their quality of life while remaining in the comfort of their own homes.
