When considering support and / or care, it can be difficult to distinguish exactly what kind of support is needed. You may have heard of both types of service, or perhaps just of one or the other.

They are often discussed within the same breath and can be used hand in hand as a good support package for those who need it, or just one can be perfectly adequate in providing what is needed. The terms “Care” and “Companionship” offer two different types of support. Let’s have a look at some of the key differences.

Companionship💙
Companionship services aim to provide emotional and social support to their clients. The companion is there to spend quality time with the individual and help with more manual tasks around the home. The key difference is a companion will not deal with the clinical needs of the client. 

A companionship service can provide emotional and social support for those who may feel lonely, and have family who are not local or have busy lives. 
Companionship can also offer support in tasks around the home such as light housekeeping, tidying and cooking. They may assist with booking and taking clients to appointments.

Personal Care💙 
Personal care aims to give assistance to individuals who may need help with day to day living and more specifically their clinical needs. This support is personal in that the carer can help the individual with personal hygiene routines such as toileting, bathing, dressing and the monitoring and administration of medication. A carer will aim to grow a trusting, friendly bond with their clients and aim to create an environment in which they trust their carer, meaning a care company also offer emotional support. 

Just because a companionship service is different to a care agency, it’s not to say that they cannot work alongside one another. They both support a person’s physical and mental well-being, of which are equally as important.
