In-home care
Companion Care
Loneliness is hard on anyone. Companion care brings a familiar, friendly face into the home for conversation, activities and help keeping the week on track.
Who it’s for
Companion Care, the Harmony & Heart way
Sometimes the help that matters most is simply someone to talk to. Companion visits give your loved one conversation, a little structure and a partner for the things they enjoy — and give you peace of mind that someone is checking in.
Visits can be as simple as lunch and a card game, or as practical as a trip to the store.
What it can include
What companion care can look like
Every plan is personal. These are examples of the help a visit can include.
- Conversation, games, puzzles, music and hobbies
- Going along on walks and outings
- Accompanying errands such as groceries or the pharmacy
- Going along to appointments for company and support
- Help keeping the calendar, mail and phone calls on track
- A regular check-in for families who live far away
Our approach
A familiar face
We aim to keep the same caregiver with your loved one wherever we can, so visits feel like time with a friend rather than a stranger at the door.
Staying part of the community
Church, the senior center, the hair appointment, the grandkids’ game — staying connected to Fayette County life is part of staying well.

Questions
Companion Care: common questions
01How is companion care different from personal care?
Companion care focuses on company, activities and help with the day. Personal care adds hands-on help such as bathing and dressing. Many families use a mix of both.
02Can you go along to doctor appointments?
Companion visits can include going along to appointments for company and support. Call us to talk through transportation, since that depends on your situation.
03Can visits be short?
Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk through scheduling options that fit your loved one’s week.
