Whether it’s watching television, playing cards or simply having someone to talk with during meals. Our in-home support and companion services help making living at home less lonely, safer and more comfortable. In-home Support and Companion Care includes:

Conversation & Companionship

Developing a warm, personal relationship between caregiver and client has been a hallmark of Hillcrest’s Elegant Care since 1951, the year Hillcrest founded North Carolina’s first certified senior care facility. Now, that same dedication to providing personalized in-home care – that includes friendly conversation – is what sets Hillcrest apart. There is evidence¹ that having company and being socially engaged prevents seniors’ depression and cognitive decline.

Shopping & Meal Preparation

Living Well at Home includes eating well at home. This service includes every aspect of eating well – from developing a shopping list, shopping for the food, preparing the meal, providing companionship and conversation during meal times. When the meal is completed, your caregiver will clean the kitchen, wash the dishes and can also prepare healthy snacks or meals for easy use anytime.

Light Housekeeping Service
