Adult companion services are a basic support service under Minnesota Statutes 245D.03 and are defined under the Elderly Waiver plan. A companion provides non-medical care, supervision, and socialization so an adult who cannot be left alone stays safe and connected. Companions do not provide skilled nursing or hands-on medical care, and household tasks are only done as an incidental part of being with the person.

- Accompaniment to appointments, errands, worship, and community events
