HOW WE CAN HELP
Community Companion & Homemaking Services offers two distinct, yet interwoven elements. Companions engage in activities intended to make impaired elderly or disabled clients feel safe and comfortable while living alone or while their regular caregiver is absent. Homemakers provide house-management services in order to maintain and strengthen household functioning and permit independent living. Both services help to ensure the general well-being of clients by identifying unmet needs and issues of concern.
Specific services offered by companions and homemakers are detailed below.
