Companion care to support the whole person.

A little company can go a long way. Maybe you live alone, or you don’t drive as much. Maybe you simply want someone to share in the things you love. Companion care from Home Instead helps you stay connected and engaged with the life you love.

Our Care Pros in Washington, DC do more than help reduce loneliness and isolation. They help you keep your independence, and provide a sense of security for your loved ones.

Here’s how companion care can help:

More connection & less isolation – enjoy friendly conversations and shared moments that reduce loneliness.
Do more of what you love – from hobbies and games to walks and puzzles, stay engaged with what you enjoy most.
Extra awareness at home – a regular presence may help notice changes in routines or well-being so families can stay informed.
Support with daily routines – let us help with meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and more.
Outings and transportation – get a ride to errands, appointments, and community activities.
Confidence knowing someone is there – benefit from having a caring presence and an extra set of eyes around the house.

How we make companion care feel personal.

Our approach to companion care starts with getting to know you. What are your care needs? What are your hobbies and what brings you joy? Then when it’s time to match you with a vetted Care Pro, we consider compatibility, experience, and skill fit. Because while we want you to get the best care, we also want companionship to feel natural.

From there, care stays personal. Whether it’s a conversation, completing a puzzle, or helping you get around the house, your local Care Pro will show up with warmth and respect.

Friendly companionship on your schedule.

Companion care works best when it fits your life, not the other way around. That’s why we start with a care consultation to learn what kind of support would be most helpful, what your days look like, and how you like things done at home. From there, our local Home Instead team in Washington, DC creates a personalized care plan based on your routines, goals, and schedule. And as life changes, your plan can change with you.

Companion Care Services FAQs

Companion care is about meaningful connection as well as practical support. A Care Pro may talk with the client over coffee, prepare a meal together, play cards, work on a puzzle, listen to music, look through family photographs, take a walk, or accompany the client on an approved outing.

A visit may also include transportation, errands, or other daily tasks included in the customized care plan.

For someone who spends much of the day alone, having a familiar person consistently present can make a meaningful difference in their day.

Yes. Transportation may be included in the care plan and can be combined with companionship.

A Care Pro might accompany an older adult to an appointment, help with an errand, or support participation in a community activity when appropriate.

Yes. Regular visits can provide social connection while also helping with meals, errands, transportation, and everyday routines.

The care plan can be built around what the older adult actually enjoys doing rather than simply scheduling someone to sit in the home.

Yes. Needs can change over time. If an older adult begins needing assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, meals, or other daily activities, the care plan can be reviewed and adjusted.

Yes. Companion care can be adapted around familiar routines, interests, communication preferences, and the person’s changing abilities.

It can also be combined with personal care, respite, or 24-hour support when those services become necessary.

Staying connected and engaged can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. Explore helpful articles about companionship, wellbeing, healthy routines, and ways to help older adults remain active and connected at home.
