Hospital Accompaniment

Being away from home and family is stressful for the individual who is hospitalized, but it can also be difficult for their family members. Our caregivers can ease a hospital stay for you and the person you love by:

  • Arranging transportation and making sure the house is safe during the person’s absence
  • Serving as a companion before, during, and after hospitalization for as long as needed – even 24 hours a day

Respite Care

Respite care is focused primarily on the family. Taking care of a loved one can sometimes be both physically and emotionally exhausting. Respite care ensures consistent, quality care while you take the breaks from care you need. Any or all of our non-medical care services are available, from just a few hours when you need to step away up through and including around-the-clock care.

Free Home Safety Assessments

To avoid costly injuries at home, we use our own tool to provide a detailed home safety assessment report with pictures that are shared with your family as a free service. The report we compile is then used in skills-based caregiver matching.
