How it works
-
Tell us about the person
Their personality, their interests, and what they would enjoy in a companion. The better we know them, the better the match.
-
Free meeting at the home
We visit, talk, understand the routine, and propose a schedule. No pressure to decide on the spot.
-
Introduce the companion
We match a caregiver with a compatible personality and shared interests where possible. You meet them before visits begin.
-
Visits begin, relationships form
Companion care often turns into friendship. We keep the schedule steady so the relationship has room to grow.
Common questions
What is the difference between companion care and personal care?
Companion care focuses on company, social engagement, and light help. Personal care includes hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and mobility. Many families blend the two over time.
Can the companion drive my parent to appointments?
Yes. All of our caregivers are licensed drivers with insurance requirements met. Transportation is a common part of companion care.
How often are visits?
Anywhere from a single afternoon a week to daily visits. Families often start with two visits a week and adjust from there.
Is companion care covered by Medicaid?
Strict companion care (no personal-care tasks) is often not covered by medical insurance or Medicaid. Long-term-care insurance sometimes covers it. We can walk through payment options with you.
