Questions people ask
Is a companion the same as a home health aide?
No. A companion offers company and light help. Help with bathing, dressing, medications or nursing is a different kind of care that usually calls for a trained, licensed provider.
How often should someone visit?
Start with what the person would enjoy, whether that's one long weekly visit or two shorter ones, and adjust from there.
What if my parent doesn't want help?
Present it as a friend coming by rather than a caregiver. Let your parent meet the visitor and have a real say in whether it continues.
