Clear Answers Without Pressure: What Families Often Ask First
Considering support for someone you love can bring up a lot of questions. These are a few helpful starting points.
What is non-medical companion care?
It is practical, relationship-centered support for daily life at home. Shiloh can provide companionship, routine check-ins, light meal preparation, errands, accompanied transportation, and caregiver respite.
What services does Shiloh not provide?
Shiloh does not provide skilled nursing, medical diagnosis, wound care, or prescription administration. Clinical needs should be handled by qualified medical professionals.
Who is companion care for?
Families often contact us when an older adult is becoming isolated, needs more routine or reassurance, or when an adult child or spouse needs dependable relief. We can also support a non-medical transition home after rehabilitation or a hospital stay.
Which communities do you serve?
Our initial service-area focus is Wellesley, Newton, Waltham, and Belmont. If you live nearby, contact us to discuss your family's situation.
How do we get started?
Begin with a free conversation. We will listen to what has become difficult, learn about your loved one's routine and preferences, and discuss the kind of support that may be helpful.
How much does care cost?
Care needs and schedules vary, so we discuss options directly after learning about your situation. Contact us for clear information tailored to your family rather than a one-size-fits-all estimate.
