Common questions

Questions families ask us first

What’s the difference between companion care and personal care?

Companion care focuses on company, activities, errands, and light household help. Personal care adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and mobility. Many families blend the two — your Care Manager helps you decide.

Can a companion drive my loved one to appointments?

Yes — companions can accompany your loved one on errands, outings, and appointments, helping them stay active and connected beyond the home.

Will it be the same companion each time?

That’s the goal. Companionship works best as a real relationship, so we protect consistency and match thoughtfully for personality and interests.
