What do companion caregivers do?
We take a look at some of the key services that companion caregivers provide to help people live better

Companion caregiving is a specific role where the companion is available to help you or a loved one with managing daily schedules and emotional needs more than medical assistance. Whether it’s for someone recovering from illness or surgery, an elderly person, or a disabled person, companion care generally includes providing companionship, social interaction and non-medical support. It is noteworthy that
companion caregivers do not assist with dressing, bathing, toileting, or medication management.
Let’s look at some ways companion caregivers provide help and relief.
Emotional support and socialization
Depression and isolation are common issues among the elderly and people with disability, and can also crop up among patients recovering from serious illness, injuries and surgeries. Companion caregivers help through their dedicated support towards patients and in maintaining social interaction and engagement. They can be part of recreational activities together, go outdoors and more. Moreover, given their proximity to the patient, companion caregivers can communicate how well they are faring to healthcare professionals and loved ones objectively.
Housekeeping
Maintaining a home is tough, especially if the patient lives alone and/or has part-time help only. Companion caregivers pitch in to keep things in order by doing odd chores around the home, making sure meals are on time, and generally keeping everything neat, clean, uncluttered and cheerful.
Errands and shopping
Companion caregivers ensure errands are handled, especially when patients are unable to do so themselves. From managing groceries to making sure medicines are available, bills are paid etc., they do everything possible to make life easy for someone struggling to manage life on their own. Companion caregivers also accompany patients wherever they need to go from hospitals to social engagements, shopping and events.
Transportation
People with limited mobility or senior citizens struggle with transportation, especially in India. Companion care includes enabling easy and comfortable movement from one place to another in a secure vehicle that’s accessible or a personal car where the patient needs extra helping getting in and out.
