COMPANION CARE SERVICES

Companion care is a valuable non-medical home care service 

that provides emotional support, social engagement, companionship, and if desired, assistance with light housekeeping or errands.  This service is designed for aging adults, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or injury.  It is a service that is offered to those, due to their current life circumstances, have become more isolated, lonely, less mobile, or housebound.  Being isolated and lonely can have a direct impact and effect on physical and mental health.  This service is designed to enhance positive well-being and quality of life. 

A companion is not a caregiver. The hired companion focuses on providing an emotional and social connection, as well as practical, non-medical assistance with tasks.  The care available does not include any "hands-on" medical or health related assistance. There will be no helping with mobility, medications, personal hygiene, toileting, bathing or other personal care. 

Clients of Anchored Horizon Companion Care Services can expect to receive a scheduled visit that provides socialization and emotional support.  As a companion care provider, I can engage in stimulating conversation over a cup of coffee, a meal, or just visiting in your living room.  We can also engage in mental stimulation activities such as completing a puzzle,  playing a board game or cards.  As a caring, social companion, I can be present with you as well, to simply watch your favorite TV program or do hobbies that you enjoy.  

Besides social companion visits, you can pre-schedule for light housekeeping or errands to be completed, as needed.  The light housekeeping services available include dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, a general (not deep) cleaning of the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as tidying up rooms to ensure a safe home environment, reducing fall risks and hazards. I can also take care of your laundry needs, including washing, drying, folding, and putting clean laundry away. 

For clients who prefer not to, or cannot, leave their home, the companion care services can also incorporate grocery shopping, prescription pick-up or other local errands into a customized care plan.  As an Anchored Horizons companion care provider, I do not transport clients to appointments or on errands.
