Companion Care Visits in Minnesota for People Living with Dementia 

At Sweet Basil Senior Care, we understand how isolating dementia can be—not just for those diagnosed, but for their families too. As the condition progresses, many individuals struggle to stay engaged in daily life. Hobbies, chores, and community outings that once brought joy can become confusing or overwhelming. 

That’s why we offer companion care visits—personalized, one-on-one time with a dementia specialist designed to gently reconnect your loved one with meaningful activity, routine, and companionship. For families in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding areas, we’re proud to provide helpful and heartfelt support.

The Power of Connection

Dementia doesn’t erase a person’s desire to feel useful, social, or included. What changes is how they access those feelings. Our companion care visits are focused on meeting your loved one where they are—emotionally, cognitively, and physically—then gently guiding them back into participation with the world around them.

These visits are never rushed. Instead, they unfold at your loved one’s pace, offering patient support for tasks they can still enjoy, while adapting around the challenges that dementia brings.

What to Expect During a Visit

Each visit is personalized based on your loved one’s interests, needs, and mood that day. Whether at home or out in the community, we focus on building trust, creating moments of joy, and keeping the individual engaged in life. We can suggest activities for people with dementia customized to your loved one's specific interests.

You can expect:

• 1:1 companionship that keeps your loved one active, supported, and gently stimulated

• Meaningful activities based on current abilities—gardening, baking, light organizing, art, puzzles, walks, or safe errands

• Safety oversight both inside and outside the home, so your loved one can move about with confidence

• A flexible, creative companion who knows how to redirect, reassure, and connect in ways that feel natural and empowering

We take pride in making each visit a positive experience—not just for your loved one but also for you.

Respite for Family Caregivers

Companion dementia care isn’t only about engagement—it’s also a much-needed break for dementia caregivers. Our visits give you space to breathe, handle errands, or simply rest, knowing your loved one is in safe, caring hands.

Your well-being matters as a caregiver, too. A few hours of reliable, consistent help each week can significantly improve your mental and physical health.
