Companion Care
For the parent who's still sharp and mostly independent — but spends too many hours alone. A companion brings conversation, structure, and a second set of eyes.
Presence, not just assistance
Isolation is one of the biggest health risks facing older New Yorkers — it deepens depression, speeds cognitive decline, and hides small problems until they become emergencies. Companion care addresses it directly: a consistent, familiar caregiver who shows up on schedule and genuinely spends time with your loved one.
Companions don't provide hands-on personal or medical care. When a client's needs grow, we transition seamlessly to personal care or HHA services — same agency, same coordinator, no starting over.
What a companion helps with
- Conversation, games, reading, and hobbies
- Walks and safe outings in the neighborhood
- Errands, groceries, and prescription pickups
- Light housekeeping and laundry
- Meal preparation and shared mealtimes
- Medication reminders (not administration)
- Escort to appointments and community events
- Check-in reports to family after each visit
A good fit when…
Your loved one manages bathing and dressing on their own, but memory slips, loneliness, or a recent fall have you worried about the hours nobody's there.
Consider more support when…
They need hands-on help with hygiene, transfers, or mobility — that's personal care — or have health conditions that need monitoring, which calls for a certified HHA.
