Companion Care for Seniors at Home
Friendly in-home companion care for seniors: conversation, games, walks, outings and rides. Ease loneliness and give families peace of mind.
Loneliness is one of the hardest parts of aging, especially for seniors who live alone or no longer drive. Companion care brings a friendly, familiar face into the home on a regular schedule.
Our companions share conversation, games, walks and outings, and help with small tasks around the house. Families get peace of mind knowing someone is checking in.
Who it helps: Seniors living alone, older adults who have lost a spouse, and anyone who would enjoy regular company.

Companion Care questions
What is companion care for seniors?
Companion care is non-medical in-home care focused on company and support. A caregiver spends time with your loved one through conversation, games, walks and outings, and helps with light tasks around the house.
What's the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companion care focuses on company, activities and light help around the house. Personal care adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing, toileting and moving around. Many families combine the two.
Can a companion take my mom to church or the store?
Yes. Outings to church, the grocery store and social events are part of companion care, along with rides to appointments.
How often can a companion visit?
As often as your family needs, from a few visits a week to daily care. Private pay visits have a 4-hour minimum. Call (847) 693-8669 to talk about a schedule.
My dad lives alone and I live out of town. Can you help?
