What is Companion Care?
Companion care is non-medical in-home support focused on emotional wellbeing, social engagement, and meaningful activity. It’s ideal for seniors who are safe at home but would benefit from regular company, help with light daily tasks, and someone to keep an eye on their overall wellbeing.
Unlike personal care which focuses on physical assistance, companion care is about connection — conversation, shared activities, and the reassurance of knowing someone is there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Companion Care
How is companion care different from personal care?
Personal care focuses on physical assistance — bathing, dressing, mobility. Companion care focuses on emotional wellbeing and social engagement. Many clients receive both services together as part of a combined care plan.
How many hours per week does companion care typically involve?
It varies by client. Some families start with just a few hours per week for social visits, while others need daily companionship. CareMN builds a schedule around your loved one’s specific needs and preferences.
Does CareMN match the same caregiver to each client?
Yes — consistency is one of our core values. We match each client with a dedicated companion and work hard to maintain that relationship over time. Families tell us this consistency is one of the biggest reasons they stay with CareMN.

Many long-term care insurance policies cover companion care services. CareMN accepts most major carriers including Genworth, Mutual of Omaha, John Hancock, and Transamerica. Call us and we’ll verify your benefits at no charge.
