Join Our Team

Comforting Companions is a trusted and reliable resource for families with loved ones living through progressive illness or aging. Whether their loved one lives at home, in Assisted Living or in Long Term Care our specialty is meeting people where they are, in more ways then one!

We focus on helping families who are juggling their busy lives with meeting their commitments to their loved ones. Our Companions step in to help offset family visits —visiting their loved one for a cozy chat, a pleasant walk or other meaningful and engaging activities to tap into who they are and what they enjoy. We are very much like an extension of the family and consider it a privilege to be welcomed into the family.
