Preparing a preference sheet for a nonclinical home companion
A preference sheet helps a companion understand the person receiving support as an individual. Keep it focused on everyday choices, communication and agreed activities, with clinical matters handled separately by appropriate professionals.

Ask the person what matters
Where possible, develop the sheet with the person who will spend time with the companion. Ask about preferred forms of address, conversation topics, quiet periods and activities they enjoy. Avoid describing someone only through a relative opinions. A useful introduction respects their own preferences and gives the companion a starting point for a comfortable working relationship.
Separate preferences from duties
Enjoying conversation does not mean a person wants constant company. Write down when companionship is welcome and when privacy should be respected. Explain the specific nonclinical tasks included, such as reading together or helping organise a hobby activity. Do not attach medical responsibilities to the preference sheet or assume a companion can provide services outside the agreed competence and role.
Keep the sheet brief and current
Use practical details that are likely to help during the visit. Long family histories and sensitive information unrelated to the role can make the document intrusive and difficult to use. Date the sheet and choose a household contact for corrections. Preferences can change, so allow the person receiving support to ask for a different routine without treating the document as a fixed rule.
Discuss the first week together
Check whether the companion understood the arrangements and whether the person receiving support felt listened to. Ask about specific moments, such as whether a quiet period was respected. Make a small number of useful changes. The objective is a workable daily relationship, not a scorecard for personality or a promise that one approach will suit every person.
A practical example to adapt
Illustrative example: For example, a household initially requests continuous conversation for a parent who actually prefers a quiet morning and reading together after lunch. The preference sheet records that choice. The companion follows the agreed pattern and checks politely before suggesting a different activity.
