Conversation and Company

Having a visitor can make all the difference in the world. A caregiver can provide senior care companionship by sharing a conversation, providing friendship and helping older adults stay socially connected to family, friends and their community.

Basic Household Tasks

It can be difficult for older adults to keep up with cleaning and organizing their home. Companion care services make basic household tasks easier, as caregivers are able to assist with light cleaning, laundry, organizing bills, sorting mail and keeping track of important paperwork.

Grocery Shopping and Meal Preparation

Nutrition is the foundation of overall health and wellness, yet some seniors fail to eat a proper diet. FirstLight caregivers often manage grocery shopping and preparing meals that provide sufficient nutrition in addition to companionship that adds joy and comfort to someone’s day.

Transportation Assistance

Picking up groceries, prescriptions or dry cleaning are common needs of those trying to maintain their independence at home. Our caregivers provide transportation that helps clients run errands, get to appointments on time and attend social events in the local community.

Medication Reminders

Taking medicine as prescribed is essential. Companion care includes regular reminders that ensure medications are taken properly and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can flexible care be scheduled with Boston-area companion caregivers?

Care is scheduled on an ongoing basis to help to ensure consistency with caregivers. You will be assigned a Care Coordinator who will oversee the schedule and supervise the caregivers assigned. While we are very flexible to changing needs, we encourage our clients to maintain a consistent schedule so that we can assign a caregiver to be there on an ongoing basis and build the relationship and routine for care.

Your care coordinator will do regular check-ins with you to ensure that your caregiver and schedule are meeting your needs and expectations. Our companion caregivers are available to families throughout the suburbs of Boston, including Needham, Newton, Weston and Wellesley.
