Companion & Daily Living Care
Companion and Daily Living Care in Nairobi – A Trusted Helping Hand, Every Day
Sometimes what a person needs most is not a nurse or a doctor, but someone reliable, patient and kind who helps them through the day and keeps them company. Makao Home Care provides companion and daily living care in Nairobi for older adults, people living with disability or long-term illness, and anyone who is mostly independent but should not be alone.
Our trained companions help with personal care, meals, mobility, medication reminders and errands. Just as importantly, they bring conversation, encouragement and a familiar face to every day. Every companion is vetted, trained and supervised, and backed by Makao’s nurses if your loved one’s health changes.
Care is flexible: a few hours a week, a 12-hour day, overnight, or a live-in companion around the clock. Care can usually start within 24 hours of a free assessment.
What is Companion and Daily Living Care?
Practical Help and Meaningful Company
Companion and daily living care is non-medical support at home. It covers the everyday activities that become harder with age, illness or disability, often called “activities of daily living”: bathing, dressing, eating, moving around safely, using the toilet, and taking medicines on time. It also covers the things that make life worth living: company, conversation, getting outside, keeping up with friends and faith.
It sits between having no help at all and full nursing care. Your loved one does not need a registered nurse at their side, but they should not be alone for long stretches, or they need a hand with parts of the day.
