Companion Care in Town and Country, WA: the local picture
About 391 residents of Town and Country aged 65 or older live alone, 38% of older residents in households (29% in Spokane County). They are the people companion care is usually for: mostly independent, but on their own for long stretches of the day.
1.4% of Town and Country households have no vehicle (6.8% in Spokane County). A companion who drives can turn a week at home into appointments, shopping and visits.
Of the 1,034 Town and Country residents aged 65 or older, 214 are 85 or older (21%). Before the first visit with someone in that oldest group, ask the family about hearing, eyesight, walking and any memory changes, so the visit is planned around them.
670 Town and Country households headed by someone 65 or older own their home and 52 rent. A companion visiting a house may also help with mail, light chores and keeping an eye on things; in an apartment building, ask whether visitors sign in.
About 93 older Town and Country residents (9.0%) live below the poverty line (9.9% in Spokane County). For them, Medicaid home and community-based services or the local Area Agency on Aging may cover some companion or homemaker hours, depending on the state program; private pay is not the only route.
About 4.0% of Town and Country residents aged 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. The most common are other languages (67), Spanish (61), Chinese (32).

What to know before hiring a companion caregiver
Isolation is a health risk, not only a mood. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that nearly one in four Americans aged 65 and older living in the community is socially isolated, and linked isolation to higher risks of dementia, heart disease and early death (2020 report).
Questions worth asking: What do you enjoy doing with the people you care for? Are you comfortable driving, and is your car insured for passengers? How do you handle a client who does not want company at first? More in our companion care guide.
