Company, meals, errands and rides for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days.
- Overnight companion care
An awake caregiver for the night hours, so nobody in the house is on their own.
- Live-in companion care
A caregiver lives in the home and keeps the day running, with agreed rest time and a night's sleep.
- 24-hour companion care
Caregivers work awake shifts, so someone is there at any hour of the day or night.
