What is Companion Care?

Companion Care is an "add-on" service offered to our Independent Living residents that could benefit from additional support. Residents enrolled in the Companion Care program elect to have a companion assist them for assigned times throughout the week. Assistance could look like reminding the resident to take their medications, going with a resident to an activity, or helping them do their laundry. Overall, the goal of Companion Care is to promote independence while offering support to those that need it.

• Assist residents with non-medical care, medication or activity reminders, and one-on-one companionship.
• Assist residents with personal hygiene and mobility by prioritizing their well-being and ensuring they maintain their dignity and independence.
• Assist with resident laundry, ensuring every resident that uses the service gets their items back cleaned and neatly folded.
