A personal care aide can also provide companion care depending on what the specific need is. Caring for and managing the needs of our clients is the most important task that we do. While personal care provision primarily focuses on day-to-day life skills, companion care demonstrates our holistic approach to caregiving helping ensure that we address the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our clients.
The types of clients who may need companion care are similar to attendant care clients such as seniors who have recently experienced the death of a loved one i.e. spouse or other close family member or a long-time friend. Additionally seniors who have lived alone for years or have been challenged with life changes that cause anxiety or apprehension to participate in life.
We also support seniors that are experiencing health challenges such as those currently dealing with or recovering from an illness or accident, long-term chronic conditions, or those of advanced age, whose past caretaker has experienced some type of change that prevents them from giving assistance that they once provided.
