What companionship care provides
Companionship care focuses on non-medical support that helps a person remain independent and connected. Caregivers provide regular visits that include conversation, shared activities, help with light household tasks, and accompaniment to appointments or errands when requested. This service is intended to reduce isolation and support daily routines without replacing medical or nursing care.
Who benefits from this service
People who are aging, living with a long-term condition, or who have temporary needs after a hospital stay often benefit from companionship care. Family members who live at a distance also find the service valuable because it adds an extra layer of observation and support for the person they care about.

Real-world examples
One family arranged regular morning visits to make sure their relative had breakfast and a companionable start to the day. Another client requested an afternoon companion for walks and light gardening support. These routines helped maintain the client's health, improved mood, and reduced falls by ensuring someone checked on mobility and environment.
