Companion Care VS Licensed Home Health Care

In many cases, a combination of companion care and licensed home health care can offer the best support for both daily living and medical needs.

Companion Care

Companion care is a non-medical service that focuses on providing emotional support and assistance with non-medical daily tasks. It provides support for seniors to promote and maintain their independence by offering:

  • Help with meal preparation, laundry, and shopping
  • Companionship and safety
  • Assistance with basic daily needs
  • Support for living safely and independently

Licensed Home Health Care

Licensed home health care provides both skilled and non-skilled services, often during or following an illness, hospitalization, or those requiring more hands-on, assistance with daily living. It includes:

  • Nursing care and therapy
  • Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and feeding
  • Case management and ongoing assessments by a Registered Nurse

Licensed Home Care Companies are equipped to handle a transition from companion care to hands-on home health care. In many cases, a combination of companion care and licensed home health care can offer the best support for both daily living and medical needs.
