Services & Pricing
No vague promises — a clear picture of how I help and what it costs. Every arrangement starts with a free conversation.
The simplest and most underrated form of care. Many seniors have their medical needs covered — what they lack is someone to genuinely spend time with. I show up to be present, not to check a box.
Visits take their shape from your loved one. Some people want to talk. Some want a companion for their favorite show. Some just want the house to feel less quiet. I adapt every time.
Staying connected to the world outside home matters enormously — to mood, cognition, and a sense of dignity. I make outings possible that might otherwise not happen: a favorite restaurant, a park, visiting a friend, a community event.
I provide transportation, handle logistics, and make sure the outing feels easy rather than stressful. The goal is for your loved one to come home having genuinely enjoyed themselves.
The small tasks that keep life running can pile up quickly. I help with the practical side of daily life — not as a housekeeper or home health aide, but as a capable, trusted person who handles things so your loved one doesn’t have to navigate them alone.
Families especially appreciate the written updates I send after every visit — you’ll know how your loved one is doing without having to wonder.
Pricing
All rates are discussed openly before any commitment. I believe families deserve clarity about cost.
Social visits, walks with Daisy, in-home companionship, shared activities.
Transportation, appointments, errands, outings. Family updates included.
Liaison with medical teams, hospice staff, discharge planners, and family.
These rates reflect direct-hire, personalized care — no agency markup, no coordinator between you and me. Home care agencies typically charge $25–$35/hr and keep a significant portion. With Golden Companions you get more personal care at a comparable or better total cost.
Monthly Retainer
Choose a set number of hours per week — I hold that time for your loved one and provide a fixed monthly rate.
Priority scheduling — your time is held, not competed for
Slightly reduced hourly rate compared to drop-in visits
Monthly family check-in call included
Adjust hours as your loved one’s needs change
Retainer arrangements are customized — the right hours, the right schedule, the right mix. There’s no standard package because every family’s situation is different. Start with a free call.
