For some individuals with developmental disabilities, having someone available for conversation, shared activities, or community participation can make everyday routines more engaging and accessible. Companion Services provide social interaction and companionship while an individual takes part in appropriate activities at home or in the community.
How It Works
Companion Services may include:
Friendly conversation and social interaction
Spending time together during everyday activities
Participation in recreational or leisure activities
Accompanying the individual during community outings
Encouragement to take part in appropriate social activities
What to Expect
Companion support is provided during scheduled periods and centers on interaction and participation rather than clinical treatment. The companion spends time with the individual through appropriate activities, conversations, recreation, or community participation. Activities can vary according to the individual’s interests, circumstances, and authorized services.
