What Is Companionship Care and Homemaking?

​

This can include (but is not limited to) accommodating your loved ones with doing their laundry, taking out the garbage, reading aloud, and playing cards. Professionals in companionship care and homemaking serve as another body within the home. Our team members helps to remind patients to take their medications, while making sure we keep up with daily in-home activities that clients require our assistance with. We even drive clients to their needed appointments! Services may differ slightly depending on the want/need of each client.

 

Companionship Care

​

The purpose of companionship care is to offer company and friendship. Companions may help with certain household chores, such as laying out towels before a shower. However, our primary purpose is to spend time with the patient. For example, some of our families hire our companions to keep an eye on their aging parents or loved one. Some of the services offered by companionship care may include:

​

• Transportation 

• Reading a book aloud

• Playing games/Cards

• Accompanying the patient for a walk outside

• Letter writing/Mail reading

• Monitoring/Assisting in the home

Think of homemaking as an addition to companionship care. With a homemaker, patients will receive all the benefits of a companion—such as transportation—but with added bonuses. Homemaking extends to include tasks such as cooking, cleaning and even grocery shopping. Some of the services offered by our homemakers may include:

Cheaper Than Home Health Aides

​

Companionship care and homemaking do not include personal, hands-on care. For example, companions cannot help patients bathe or take their medications. Instead, they can prepare the bath and remind patients to take their medications. Most states require additional licensing for personal, hands-on care.

Therefore, hiring companions or homemakers will cost less than hiring a home health aide, who undergoes additional training and needs a state license to provide hands-on care. The difference in cost can decrease by $4-5 per hour.
