Paid companions are generally selected based on the patient's condition, special needs and the treatment he/she needs to receive in the hospital. Assigning these companions to ensure the comfort and safety of patients can contribute to a better treatment process for the patient. Paid companion service is very valuable, especially if the relatives of the sick individual do not have time to stay in the hospital constantly.
