Companion ServicesDefined
“Provided to individuals living in private homes for the limited purposes of providing supervision and assistance that is focused solely on the health and welfare of the individual when a habilitative outcome is not appropriate or feasible, (i.e. when the individual is not learning, enhancing or maintaining a skill). This service can be used to supervise individuals during socialization or non-habilitative activities when necessary to ensure the individual’s safety. Companions may supervise and provide assistance with daily living activities, including grooming, health care, household care, meal preparation and planning and socialization.”
Office of Developmental Programs (ODP)
Companion Services
