Companion/client interactions are intimate by nature. The Companion is there to assist with many of the most personal tasks of daily living. It is absolutely vital that this person be compassionate, trustworthy, skilled, empathetic, and professional.

All our Companions must have a high school diploma; have undergone thorough background checks; and are experienced caregivers. In addition, as a local companion care agency, Annasus provides our employees with regular training and supervision to uphold the highest-quality client care.

The hourly rate for this relatively affordable care varies by state. The average wage for a companion caregiver in North Carolina is $10.90 per hour.

However, each client has different needs. Our customized care plans allow us to find just the right amount of care for your unique situation.

Our rates are very competitive. Please contact us for a free consultation to determine the level of care you require.

Companion care is typically the best option for otherwise healthy individuals who need assistance in order to live safely and independently at home. This option can often delay the premature depletion of resources caused by costly stays at full-time care facilities. Companions provide non-medical services that make life more manageable for the client. There is no license for these vital services.

Our experienced Companions receive up-to-date training on best practices for understanding the aging process, identifying the needs of their clients, supporting their clients’ emotionally, and motivating them to stay engaged with living, not simply existing.

Absolutely! Being away from home and adjusting to a new environment can be very stressful. Patients receiving medical treatments are often agitated and confused. Having a calm, reassuring presence dedicated to making them feel safe and secure is comforting.

Securing a Companion to provide sitter services guarantees the client a constant, watchful presence. The sitter is there to provide emotional support, companionship, and assistance with appropriate non-medical needs. 

In addition to providing personal care for the client, a Companion can be the eyes and ears for loved ones when they are unable to be present themselves. You can count on our Companion to keep you up-to-date on important aspects of your loved ones’ treatment.
