Companion care involves companionship & socialization that improves quality of life through engagement and interaction. Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda excels at providing genuine companionship alongside exceptional care, which makes our services feel like getting a little help from your friends®. We hire mature and sophisticated caregivers with strong interpersonal skills who clients view as peers rather than hired help. We also work to facilitate meaningful relationships between clients and caregivers. Our clients and caregivers usually become fast friends, and clients typically look forward to caregiver visits.

Building Relationships:
We provide premium companion care by hiring great caregivers and then facilitating relationships between our clients and caregivers through:
- Matching – we match clients with caregivers who have a complementary personality and
similar interests. - Consistency – we strive to send the same caregiver to every shift with a client to help
facilitate a relationship between them.
FAQs
Whatever the client enjoys and wants to do – hobbies, errands, social activities, outings, etc. Moreover, our sophisticated and mature caregivers can comfortably navigate a variety of environments. Some of the outings we have done with clients include golfing, museums, botanical gardens and nature preserves, restaurants, movies, hikes, and concerts.
We also have an activity directory filled with great local events and outings that clients can do with their caregivers, and have even arranged for clients to receive discounts at certain venues! And if clients prefer to not do outings, then we have customized workbooks that can provide engagament without leaving the home!
The client decides. Our caregivers are happy to make suggestions but the ultimate decision is always made by the client.
Usually, but not necessarily. It’s up to the client! Some clients just want someone to socialize, while other clients want additional services, such as light housekeeping and transportation. Both options these are fine – companion care can involve both high-level companionship and high-quality care.
Social engagement reduces isolation and loneliness, which can be detrimental to both mental health and physical well-being. Moreover, our caregivers and clients typically become friends – this friendship is a fulfilling relationship that can enrich their life.
Caregivers can also provide oversight, promote care plan adherence, facilitate early intervention of symptom management, and serve as trusted resources for a client’s family and care team.
