Care services

Sitter / Companionship Services

Seniors who want company, reminders, and light help without hands-on personal care — and families who want the same caregivers they are familiar with if needs change.

Companionship is a key element to a happy and healthy life. Home by Choice offers sitter/companionship services for clients who do not require hands-on assistance but who could benefit from a friendly face. Scheduled visits can be for as little as a few hours each week, or we can implement a full-time schedule for 24 hours, seven days a week depending on your needs. Our sitter services are delivered through the same bonded and insured caregivers that provide personal care services, so if needs change you can keep the caregiver you already know.

Not hands-on care
For someone who wants company, reminders, and light help — not personal care.
Same team
Sitter visits use the same bonded, insured caregivers as personal care. If needs change, you can keep the person you already know.
Your schedule
A few hours a week, or a full-time week — set at your discretion.
