Personal Care
Personal home care makes it possible for older adults to age in place while living with physical disabilities or a chronic health condition. This type of home care includes help with personal activities, such as dressing, bathing, hygiene, ambulation, feeding and toileting. Seniors who receive private or personal home care can maintain their independence and continue living at home, rather than moving to a care facility.
At Compassionate Angels, we know how important the comfort of home can be for seniors. If your loved one is worried about losing their independence or finds themselves struggling with everyday tasks, Compassionate Angels can help your loved receive the care they need to age in place on their own terms.
Personal Care
Healthy and delicious meals can be cooked right in the client’s own kitchen. If a client has a special diet or just needs help eating healthier, our caregivers can work with them to plan, shop and fix meals.
What Is Personal Care?
Personal care is one of the most common types of in-home care. Generally, this type of care is meant for individuals with chronic health conditions, physical disabilities, or difficulties with strength, coordination, and mobility. Care will typically include a combination of tasks and activities, which are designed to ensure the individual’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
Personal caregivers can offer a helping hand with a number of other tasks, including assistance bathing, toileting, feeding, grooming and other routine activities. Our caregivers also provide individuals with companionship and conversation, helping reduce the risks of senior isolation.

Companion Care
Companion care for seniors provides assistance older adults need to live safely and comfortably at home. This type of home care covers a range of basic tasks and activities that many seniors find difficult to perform on their own. In other situations, these obstacles can put seniors at risk of losing their independence. But with companion care, seniors can maintain their routines and continue to age in place.
At Compassionate Angels, companion caregiving is one of our most popular services, covering a broad range of caregiving duties. This makes it a great choice for seniors who need a bit of help to remain at home, but who don’t require advanced caregiving.
In Companion Care Services Can Help With Everyday Activities
Light Housekeeping
Sometimes, household chores can be difficult for older adults or those recovering from an illness or injury. In these cases, personal in-home caregivers are happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks such as washing dishes, vacuuming, dusting and folding laundry.

What Is Companion Care?
Companion care is a type of in-home care service that provides essential assistance to the elderly and disabled adults.
Care will typically include a number of ways to make daily living easier and safer for the care recipient. For example, a caregiver might perform errands, such as grocery shopping or picking up medications, on behalf of a senior. At other times, caregivers will plan and prepare regular meals, perform light housekeeping duties, and offer medication reminders.
This type of elder care is also designed to improve quality of life in other ways. Caregivers act as partners for favorite hobbies and activities, accompany clients to appointments and social outings, and engage in friendly conversation with clients.

Companion Caregiving vs. Personal Caregiving
When choosing elder care services for your loved one, you may need to choose between companion care and personal care. Because of this, it’s helpful to know the difference between the two services. With a home care companion, duties typically include activities such as doing laundry, making meals, and assisting with errands. However, this type of care does not include physical assistance with activities like dressing, bathing, or toileting Personal care covers the basic care duties of companion caregiving, while also providing physical assistance to clients. Personal care services can also include non-medical assistance for chronic health conditions, like diabetes or Parkinson’s. Most older adults who receive senior care can age in place comfortably with companion caregiving. However, seniors who require advanced care or physical assistance may need personal care to live at home safely.
