Purple Companion Care plans are customized to each client's needs. The first step is our free assessment, where we listen to your story, your goals, and the client's interests, hobbies, and lifestyle preferences.
We then pair caregivers with similar personality profiles and shared interests to facilitate a quicker and stronger bond.

Purple Companion Care FAQ Q: How do we decide which companion services are best for our loved one? The great news is that no decisions are set in stone. Companion services are flexible and can be adjusted from shift to shift, depending on the mood and interests of the client. After the home evaluation, our registered nurse will review the plan with respect to the client's abilities and health requirements, ensuring the shifts support any dietary restrictions, physical limitations, and relevant medical recommendations. Q: Can companion services also include support with meals and errand running? Yes, our companions are used to wearing multiple hats. They're happy to sit and play cards, share lunch, and get your loved one showered and dressed, and we can also add errand running, snack prep, or transportation services that expand your loved one's horizons and social network. Q: Can we increase or decrease shifts as needed? You can always make changes to shifts as needed. The two requirements are that all shifts are billed at a four-hour minimum and that we receive at least 48-hours notice before canceling a shift without charge.
