When exploring home care services, it’s important to understand the difference between personal care and companion care — and which one fits your loved one’s needs best.

Personal Care includes hands-on support like bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility assistance. It’s ideal for individuals who need help with daily routines or have physical limitations.

Companion Care is more about emotional well-being. It focuses on conversation, recreational activities, accompaniment to appointments, and simply being there as a friendly presence.

Both services offer critical support — and many clients benefit from a combination of the two. At Open Door Restorative Care, we tailor every care plan to meet your loved one where they are, helping them thrive at home with dignity and joy.
