Companion Care

Companion care is a non-medical home care service focused on providing social interaction, emotional support, and assistance with light daily activities. Services typically include conversation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, and supervision. Companion care helps combat senior isolation while providing families peace of mind.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Companion care often serves as an entry point for families not yet ready for hands-on personal care. Marketing companion care involves reaching families concerned about an aging parent’s isolation, loneliness, or inability to manage household tasks independently. It’s often an easier “yes” than more intensive care.

Effective companion care marketing addresses specific scenarios: “worried about mom being alone all day,” “dad stopped going out and seems depressed,” or “need help with meals and errands.” Content targeting searches like “companion for elderly parent” or “senior companionship services” captures families at this stage.

Key Takeaway

Position companion care as both a standalone service and a first step toward more comprehensive care. Many companion care clients eventually need personal care services—capturing them early builds relationships that grow as needs increase.
