Answers to common questions about our companion care, home care, and senior care placement services.
Companion care is a non-medical service focused on providing social engagement, emotional support, and practical help with daily activities like meal prep, housekeeping, transportation, and errands. Home health care, by contrast, involves skilled medical services like wound care or physical therapy prescribed by a doctor. Our companion care focuses on quality of life and independence.
We proudly serve Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, Cave Spring, Hollins, Bonsack, Daleville, Bedford, Smith Mountain Lake, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Radford, and surrounding communities throughout the Roanoke Valley and Blue Ridge region.
Common signs include social withdrawal or loneliness, difficulty keeping up with household tasks, missed medications or appointments, weight loss or poor nutrition, and declining personal hygiene. If you’ve noticed any of these changes, a free consultation can help determine the right level of support.
In most cases, we can begin services within 24–48 hours of the initial consultation. For urgent situations, we often arrange same-day care. We understand that care needs can arise suddenly and we’re prepared to respond quickly.
Traditional Medicare does not cover non-medical companion care. However, long-term care insurance, Veterans Aid & Attendance benefits, and some Medicaid waiver programs may help cover costs. We’re happy to help you explore your options during a free consultation.
Costs vary depending on the level of care, number of hours per week, and specific services needed. We offer flexible scheduling with no long-term contracts. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a detailed, transparent estimate based on your family’s unique needs.
