Adult Companion Services in Woodbury
Nonmedical support and socialization for older adults working toward a goal in their support plan. Discuss the activities, assistance, and schedule that would be useful to you.
What is Adult Companion Services?
Adult companion services connect time together with a therapeutic or community-integration goal. Start with what you want to participate in, not just a list of outings. Explain what makes an activity difficult and what kind of encouragement or cue would help. A companion is not a substitute for hands-on personal care or nursing.
