Providing In-Home Companion Care in Wasilla, Anchorage, Soldotna, and surrounding areas in Alaska.

What is Companion Care?

Companion care, by Genacta, is a form of in-home support designed to help individuals with non-medical tasks while offering meaningful social engagement. Unlike personal care, which focuses on physical assistance, or medical care, which addresses health-related needs, companion care centers on emotional well-being and practical help. This approach fosters connection and ensures individuals maintain a sense of independence.

Companion Care Services Include:

  • Homemaker services like light housekeeping, light laundry, changing linen, washing dishes, and tidying up the home.
  • Errands, picking up groceries and prescriptions.
  • Transportation, accompanying to appointments.
  • Playing cards, hobbies, checking the mail, organizing papers and information
  • Conversation and Social Engagement: Caregivers provide meaningful interaction to reduce feelings of isolation.
  • Meal Preparation: Assistance with planning and preparing nutritious meals.
Genacta is a community-based service organization dedicated to providing health-and-habilitation-related human services to our neighbors. We work to improve independence and quality of life for our neighbors facing various disabling or potentially disabling challenges.
