Find a Companion in Your Area
Many older adults require companion care services due to aging or physical limitations. Family may not always have time to accompany their loved one to appointments or help with daily tasks; companions provide much-needed socialization for seniors living alone.
Some families choose to hire an in-home companion caregiver directly or post an ad on Craigslist in order to find their loved one care partner. Although this option can work, for optimal care and results it’s wiser to partner with an agency offering home health care in order to make sure that the caregiver you hire for your loved one has experience and is fully qualified.
Agencies go to great lengths to verify their caregivers’ experience and qualifications, conduct background checks on them, resolve misunderstandings about pay or holidays, and manage any related disputes.
