Companionship and Social Engagement Services

Our companions undergo a rigorous selection process including background checks, interviews, and comprehensive training. We match companions with patients based on personality compatibility, shared interests, language preferences, and specific patient needs. We also consider any specialized training required for particular health conditions.

Activities vary based on patient interests and abilities but may include conversation, reading together, playing board games or cards, working on puzzles, listening to music, watching movies, reminiscing about life experiences, assisting with hobbies, and facilitating virtual connections with family and friends. All activities are designed to provide mental stimulation and social engagement.

Visit frequency and duration are customized based on patient needs and preferences. We offer options ranging from multiple visits per week to monthly check-ins. Typical sessions last 2-3 hours, but we can accommodate shorter or longer visits as needed. Virtual sessions can be scheduled more frequently and typically last 30-60 minutes.
