There is another option...

Live-in companions are qualified home health aides and certified nursing assistants who provide care for 3 to 4 days at a time. Live-in companions are a great option for those who need to have someone nearby for emergencies and assistance with daily activities on a regular basis. They provide security for both the clients and their families by providing individualized services while preserving hope and dignity. They can provide services to allow individuals to live the life they want in their own home.

Live-in companions are available on a short-term or long-term basis, making them an option for someone recovering from surgery or dealing with a long-term situation.


Live-in companions stay in your home, and therefore need a separate bedroom. They must be able to have 8 hours of time off (typically at night), although they will stay in the home for emergency purposes. They are a great option for someone considering a facility due to beginning stages of Alzheimer's, concerns over being alone, falling, etc. They are not appropriate for someone who requires around-the-clock bedside care (click here for options). For example, someone who needs assistance to the bathroom once or twice at night is suitable for a companion.


Live-in companions are covered by worker's compensation and are licensed, bonded, and insured.

The cost of a live-in companion is significantly less than an hourly companion, as well as less than many facilities.  Our rates are all-inclusive, and services are tailored to the exact needs of each individual. This allows your loved one to have the meals they want, go where they want, and have the personalized attention they want. In fact, many times seniors must leave facilities or are injured (due to falls, etc.) because the staff simply cannot provide such individualized attention.
