Your father is doing fine. He likes his chair on the balcony and the evening news. But the day has grown long for him, alone in the apartment from morning until you get home from work. He doesn't need nursing. He needs someone to keep him company and keep an eye on him, and that's what companion care for seniors is for.
The same idea works for someone just home from the hospital who needs company and a hand with the day, or for children who need someone with them for a few hours until you're back. The companion is there to keep company and help out, and you know who's coming before they arrive.
What a companion does during the day
- Keeps them company: a cup of tea and a chat, the newspaper, a favorite TV series, or a short walk outside the building if they're up to it.
- Helps with the daily routine: warming up lunch, tidying the room, and staying close while they move around the house.
- Goes along to appointments and errands: a doctor's visit, collecting a pension, or a visit to relatives.
- Looks after children: stays with them after school, keeps an eye on homework and meals, and follows the house rules you've written down.
- Simple reminders: mealtimes, a call that needs returning, or tomorrow's errand.
- Keeps you posted: if anything comes up, they can message or call you from inside the order.
Arranging the first visit
- 1Describe the person and their routineIn the request, say who needs company, how well they get around, what they enjoy and what upsets them, and when they usually eat and rest. If it's easier, record a voice note and talk it through the way you would with a relative.
- 2Pick the timeChoose the window when you need someone there, like your working hours or the morning of a doctor's appointment. The request goes to verified companions who work in your area, and as soon as one accepts, you see their name, photo, and rating.
- 3The first meetingTry to be there for the first visit. Confirm the arrival code at the door, introduce the companion to your parent without rushing, and show them around: the kitchen, the family phone numbers on the fridge, and the small habits your parent is used to.
- 4Share your feedback afterwardAsk your parent how it went, then rate the companion in the app. If something didn't sit right with you, open a support ticket from the order itself, or reach us on WhatsApp or by phone.
Why identity checks matter most in companion care
With most home services, you're in the house watching the work. Here it's different. You're leaving someone you love, who may not always be able to speak up for themselves, with a person you're only getting to know. That's why every companion on Aman Fix has to verify their identity with a national ID and a recorded video before receiving any request.
On the day, you can follow the companion on the map as they head over, and check the arrival code in the app the moment they arrive. If the face at the door doesn't match the photo, the app can ask them for a live photo on the spot. Throughout the visit there's also a help button in the order, in case you need to act fast.
Arrange a companion through the Aman Fix app, and know who's coming before they knock.
