What Is Companion Care?

Companion care focuses on providing emotional support, social interaction, and assistance with everyday activities for seniors who may feel isolated or need help maintaining daily routines. Through Lynden Nursing Service, families may be referred independent contractor companion caregivers who provide meaningful presence and support without performing skilled medical tasks.


This type of care is ideal for seniors who are largely independent but benefit from companionship, reminders, and light assistance throughout the day.

Companion Care Referrals Through a Trusted Nurse Registry

Lynden Nursing Service is not a home care agency. As a nurse registry, we refer independent contractor caregivers based on client preferences, schedules, and care needs. Our Client Referral Representatives take the time to understand your loved one’s lifestyle, personality, and level of support needed to help coordinate a companion care referral that feels comfortable and natural.


We believe companionship plays a vital role in maintaining emotional health, confidence, and quality of life as seniors age.

Supporting Emotional Well-Being and Safety at Home

Having someone present also adds an extra layer of safety by providing supervision and assistance when needed.



Companion care can be especially helpful for seniors whose family members may live far away or have limited availability due to work or other responsibilities.
