FAQ
What is companionship care?
Companionship care is the primary care we provide and believe very strongly in. Most people want to stay at home as they age. But living alone can be lonely. Our caregivers understand how isolating it can be at home. That’s why they strive to motivate and inspire seniors through engaging conversation and activity. Life is richer when shared! We make every effort to match our clients with caregivers who have similar interests and experiences – helping to spark authentic conversation and meaningful friendships.
Companionship encompasses all of the following services, just to name a few: going for walks, sharing conversation over a cup of tea or coffee, meal prep, overnight support, light housekeeping, watering plants, animal care, transportation to appointments and errands.

Do I need to have a minimum number of hours of care per visit?
No, we offer a very flexible service that is completely tailored to your needs. Whether it be a 1 hour visit weekly or around the clock 24 hour care, we do our best to accommodate all requests.
