For most seniors, companion care provides the support they need for a wide range of basic caregiving tasks, including light housekeeping, help with errands, and meal preparation. This makes it a perfect choice for your loved one who needs help to live at home safely but does not require advanced assistance.

If your loved one has advanced needs, then personal care could be the right choice. Personal care includes the primary duties of companion care, but it also helps with tasks such as grooming, dressing, bathing, and mobility. Personal care can also assist individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, COPD, or Parkinson's.

If you are the primary caregiver for an aging or disabled family member and need a break at times, respite care could be a welcomed option. Respite care can help you pursue other activities, attend to urgent obligations, and spend more time with family. Most importantly, it gives you the time you can focus on self-care, reducing the risk of caregiver burnout.
