To the outside world, it looks like two friends or a senior and their child/grandchild having
a good time. Since our caregivers and companions don’t wear a uniform, you would probably
not be able to identify our staff when out in the community. To the family, a companion is a
partner in caring for their loved one. The companion can report to the family when they identify
unmet needs or have ideas on how to improve their lives. To the client, a companion is an ally in
their goal of keeping their independence, a confidant, a friend they can rely on. The companion
and the clients can form strong bonds and friendships based on their experiences together and
the obstacles they overcome together.
