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 Bloomington, IN 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 Bloomington, IN 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 can be as simple as conversation, games, walks, music, or looking through photo albums together. Some clients enjoy going to a museum or craft fair with their Care Pro.

The activity itself isn’t the whole point. A consistent Care Pro can become someone an older adult looks forward to seeing. For people who live alone or have limited family nearby, that regular relationship can add structure and connection to the week while also giving the Care Pro an opportunity to notice changes in everyday routines.

Consistency can be particularly valuable in companion care because the relationship develops over time.

One Bloomington client has had the same Care Pro for her regular visits and looks forward to seeing her three days each week. When the client unexpectedly took in a stray dog during a period when she had been feeling depressed, she called to ask whether her Care Pro could come help get the dog settled and bathed. The Care Pro added a visit that day, supporting something that had suddenly become very meaningful to the client.

Depending on the customized care plan, companion care can include outings as well as activities at home. The Bloomington team describes clients enjoying walks, museums, craft fairs, music, games, and other interests with their Care Pros.

Transportation is especially relevant in rural Monroe County, where getting to appointments, stores, and community activities can be difficult for an older adult who no longer drives.

Yes. Companion care can be built around the amount of support the person needs.

The local client who enjoys visits from her regular Care Pro receives companionship three days a week. Other clients may need a different schedule or may eventually add personal care, transportation, or more frequent support. The care plan can evolve rather than requiring a family to begin with more care than they currently need.
