What is companion care, and how is it different from home health care?
Companion care is non-medical support: conversation and companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, errands and medication reminders. Home health care involves skilled medical services such as wound care or physical therapy ordered by a doctor. Many families start with companion care and add personal care as needs change.
