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.
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.
