When a Loved One Needs More Company

Loneliness often shows up in small ways. Phone calls get shorter. A parent stops talking about friends or neighbours. A garden they loved starts to fill with weeds. Nothing seems wrong with their health, yet something has changed.

Other signs can include missed reminders, changes to daily routines and more time spent alone. Family caregivers may also start to feel the strain. This is where companion care in Sarasota can help, for your loved one and for you.

What In Home Companion Care Looks Like

There are no nurses and no medical visits. We send a kind, genuine person who sits and stays a while. They might chat over coffee, stroll to the post box or play a few hands of cards. Some visits are simply a long, easy afternoon together.

Our companions also make time to listen and reminisce. Regular company gives your loved one someone to talk to and something to look forward to.

Your loved one sees the same companions, not a string of strangers. That familiarity helps them feel comfortable and relaxed in their own home.

Reliable Companionship Care for Seniors

It helps to have support in place for an ageing parent, however near or far you live. Sometimes the right care is simply a friendly companion who visits on a regular schedule.

Many families book visits for times when they have appointments or just need a break. Companionship is one of the most requested types of senior home care. A companion in the home can also help keep your loved one mentally active and engaged.

Visits can cover a few hours a day. If needs grow, we also offer 24 hour care.

A Companion Matched to Your Loved One

Matching the right person to your loved one matters a great deal. So does seeing the same faces week after week.

Before care starts, we visit for an in home assessment. We get to know your loved one’s personality, interests and routine. We then choose a companion we think will suit them well.

If the match does not feel right, just tell us. You can ask for a different caregiver.

Helping Seniors Age Comfortably at Home

Every senior deserves the chance to age in place with comfort and independence. Our companions support that goal and give family caregivers time to rest.

Care By You is registered with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for homemaker and companion services. We hold an A+ rating with the BBB. We provide nonmedical care only. We do not offer personal care or medical care.
