Companion care is non-medical in-home support that includes social interaction, help with errands, meal preparation, and other light day-to-day assistance. Isolation is one of the most common challenges older adults face at home, and our companion care services in Sarasota pair your loved one with a caregiver who genuinely relates to them, not just someone going through the motions.

Caregivers who share your loved one's life experience

Caregiver turnover well below the industry average
The home care industry averages 68-80% annual caregiver turnover. Ours is significantly below that. Your loved one sees familiar faces, not a revolving door of strangers.
We track Continuity of Care
We measure the Continuity of Care Index (COCI) to confirm the same caregivers are consistently assigned to the same clients. Most agencies do not measure this at all.
Contracted with the VA, Medicare Advantage, and PACE
Only a small percentage of home care agencies hold contracts with any one of these programs. We hold all three, a standard each program enforces before approving any agency.
Getting started is straightforward. Most families move from their initial call to active care within 48 hours to one week, depending on the complexity of the schedule.
Call, chat, or fill out a form online. Just describe the situation as best you can and we will take it from there.
Our intake coordinator will ask about your loved one's situation and what you are hoping this service will provide.
If the service sounds like the right fit, we email documents for review and signature. Nearly all families complete this digitally, though we can accommodate in-person if needed.
A registered nurse visits your loved one's home for an approximately one-hour assessment. This typically happens within 24 to 48 hours of the first call.
We match your loved one with a caregiver based on personality, availability, proximity, and any specific preferences you share.
Your loved one's companion starts scheduled visits. Simple schedules are typically staffed within a couple of days.
Companion care is available through several payment options, including programs that cover the full cost for eligible individuals. Around 60% of our clients pay privately, but veterans, Medicare Advantage enrollees, and PACE participants may qualify for zero out-of-pocket coverage.
We bill every other week for the prior two weeks of service. No upfront payment is required.
Eligible veterans pay zero out of pocket. The VA authorizes a specific number of weekly hours, typically 4-20, and we schedule care accordingly.
Qualifying Medicare Advantage plans may cover care at zero out-of-pocket cost. The plan sets the authorized hours.
Individuals enrolled in PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) may receive care at zero out-of-pocket cost.

Yes. Companion care is available without any other services attached. Your loved one does not need to require personal care or homemaker services to receive regular visits. If needs change over time, we can adjust the care plan to include additional support.
Care schedules can start from as few as 6 hours per week. We can build a schedule around what works for your family, whether that is a few hours several days a week or a single longer visit. There is no requirement to commit to more than the minimum.
Companions provide genuine social interaction and conversation based on what the client enjoys. Visits can also include help with errands, medication reminders, meal preparation, and light housekeeping depending on the level of service included in the care plan. The goal is a natural, ongoing relationship, not a checklist of tasks.
After the nurse assessment, our care team matches your loved one with a caregiver based on skill set, proximity, availability, and personality. When multiple caregivers meet the baseline criteria, we narrow the selection based on temperament and any specific requests from your family. If the match is not right, we will make a change promptly.
Our caregiver turnover rate is significantly below the industry average of 68-80% annually. When caregivers do leave, they typically give advance notice rather than simply not showing up, which allows us to plan transitions smoothly. We will keep you informed and work to maintain the consistency your loved one depends on.
Yes. We provide dementia support services that include supervision, companionship, and structured social interaction for individuals living with cognitive decline. Our peer-to-peer model is particularly well-suited for this, as caregivers who share the same generational background can draw on common memories and cultural references to keep clients engaged.
From your initial call to the start of care, the typical timeline is 48 hours to one week. A nurse usually visits the home within 24 to 48 hours of the first call. Simple companion care schedules are often staffed within a couple of days after the assessment.
