HOME CARE AND COMPANIONSHIP

Home care can help an older adult remain at home with support that fits daily routines and personal needs. Services, schedules and minimum hours vary by provider and location.

Compañera can help identify independent home-care agencies or caregivers offering companionship, personal care, meal preparation, light household support, mobility assistance, errands, transportation, respite, overnight support or short-term help following illness or hospitalization.

We help you assess the available options. The provider you select confirms the care plan, caregiver qualifications, schedule, fees and employment arrangements directly with you.

HOME NURSING AND REHABILITATION

Some situations require a licensed nurse, therapist or other clinical professional rather than a non-medical caregiver. The appropriate provider depends on the task, frequency, location and instructions from the treating clinician.

Depending on availability, Compañera can help identify independent providers offering scheduled nursing visits, longer nursing shifts, medication support, wound or catheter care, post-surgery support, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and assistance related to chronic health conditions.

Families should confirm professional credentials, the exact scope of service and coordination with the patient’s doctor before care begins.
