Companion Service is an appropriate service for a person who has intellectual and/or developmental disability. It provides non-medical assistance and supervision to support the patients’ goals, desires, and needs as identified in their Individual Support Plan (ISP) and reflected in their Person-Centered Thinking and Discovery tools. Goals may be related to their safety, promotion of independence, community integration, and/or retirement. This service may be provided in their homes or community.
Companionship care covers the following:
- Health and wellness
- Self- advocacy
- Activities of daily living
- Leisure and recreation
- Cooking and feeding
- Shopping for grocery
- Use of community resources
- Community safety and to develop other adaptive skills needed to live in the community
- Assist with taking medication
Our companion services will be provided in a person’s home or in the community which will support and help to further integrate community opportunities outside of a person’s home, to foster independence, autonomy or career exploration and encourage development of a full life in the person’s community.
