What is included

What companionship covers.

How it works

A familiar face to look forward to.

Loneliness is common later in life, especially after losing a spouse, giving up driving, or watching friends move away. Days grow long and quiet, and people who are lonely often eat less, move less, and lose interest in the things they used to enjoy.

Regular visits give the week a shape and something to look forward to. Because we send the same caregiver each time, the relationship has time to grow.

Care starts at 5 hours a week. Most families pay $32 to $36 an hour. Paying for care

Often helps

When families ask for it.

Questions

What families ask about companionship.

Is companionship only for people who live alone?
No. It also helps when a spouse needs time away, or when a parent who lives with family is alone during the workday.
Can the caregiver take my mother on outings?
Yes. Outings and errands are part of companionship, with the caregiver driving and helping her along the way.
What if my father and the caregiver do not click?
Tell us. We match by personality and routine, and if the fit is not right, we will make a change.
