Q: What is Companion care?
A: Companion care is non-medical
care provided by qualified
individuals.
Companions assist seniors and
others with their activities of
daily living (ADLs), which
includes supervision, meal

transportation to and from
doctor's appointments, and
social interaction. Best of all,
we provide this service where
people are most comfortable -
in their homes!
Q: Are companion services
covered by insurance providers?
A: The fact that Medicare and
Medicaid do not provide coverage
for companion care makes billing
fast and easy. You get paid
directly by the client and never
have to deal with the
bureaucratic hurdle that is
insurance - or wait for them
to reimburse you. In some
instances, however, long term
care insurance will cover
non-medical home care.

to start? Can I use a home
office?

certifications do Companions
need?
A:

work to supplement their income,
or mothers with grown children
who enjoy nurturing the elderly.
Most important, Companions have
a desire to help other people.
