Non-Medical Service

Companion Care in Broward County, FL

One-on-one social engagement, daily activity support, and safety supervision β€” helping older adults stay connected, active, and at home.

What Is Companion Care?

Companion care is a non-medical in-home service focused on social engagement, emotional support, and structured daily assistance. It is designed for older adults and other eligible clients who would benefit from a consistent, dependable presence in their home throughout the day.

Unlike personal care (which involves hands-on hygiene assistance) or home health services (which require licensed medical professionals), companion care centers on the human side of daily life: conversation, activities, safety, routine, and connection.

Research consistently shows that social isolation has serious consequences for older adults β€” affecting both mental health and physical well-being. Companion care is a practical, accessible way to address that gap without requiring a move to a facility.

Why Companion Care Matters for Aging in Place

Most older adults want to stay home. For many, the challenge is not that they need intensive medical support β€” it is that they need consistent company, help staying on schedule, and someone reliable to check in. Without that, isolation sets in quickly.

Companion care addresses this without requiring a facility move or complex medical intervention. It is a practical layer of support that keeps people connected to their lives, their preferences, and their independence.

For families managing from a distance or balancing their own responsibilities, it also provides reassurance that someone is there β€” consistently, reliably β€” without requiring the family member to be physically present every day.

Common Questions About Companion Care

What does a companion caregiver actually do?
A companion caregiver provides one-on-one support with daily activities, social engagement, and safety supervision. They might assist with hobbies, accompany someone to appointments, help with light daily tasks, or simply provide consistent, friendly company during the day.
Is companion care the same as personal care?
No. Companion care focuses on social support and general daily assistance. Personal care involves hands-on help with hygiene tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming. Many clients benefit from both, and we can discuss which combination fits your situation.
Can a companion caregiver give medications?
No. Companion care in Florida does not include medication administration. A companion caregiver can provide medication reminders β€” a verbal prompt that it is time to take medication β€” but does not handle, dispense, or administer medications.
How many hours of companion care can someone receive?
That depends on your situation. We work with clients who need a few hours several times per week, as well as clients who need more consistent daily support. Call (954) 795-3295 to discuss what schedule makes sense.
