Home Companion Services For Seniors

Priscilla Martin

Home Companion Services is now a popular term coined by the National Association of Senior Citizens as a way to define live-in, on-site senior companion care for senior adults who reside alone in their home. Companion services also include assistance with the various responsibilities which come with living alone as an elderly adult. This can include grooming, helping around the home, and similar tasks. Most all services are provided free of charge, and require no payment from the client.

While many older adults prefer to remain living in their homes, others have medical conditions which make it unsafe or inconvenient to live without assistance. In these cases home companion services are a better alternative than living in an elderly home. Some examples of such medical conditions include diabetes, heart problems, or blindness. These medical issues often require extra care and attention. read more
