Services & Pricing

Three ways I can help.

Prices are published here on purpose. Most agencies make you call to find out what they charge. You should be able to know before you pick up the phone.

Two-hour minimum on hourly visits. Mileage within the service area is included. No contract, no sign-up fee, cancel any time.

The Accompaniment

For surgery, a procedure, or any appointment you shouldn't face alone.

$325

Flat rate — flat rate, up to 6 hours from pickup to settled at home.

I drive you there and wait through the procedure
I listen to the discharge instructions with you and write them down
I drive you home and get you settled — bed, water, a meal

A check-in call the next day

Call to ask

The line I don't cross

What I do, and what I don't.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences and years of experience at the side of patients. That is exactly why I am clear about where my work ends. If your family needs clinical care, I will help you find the right licensed provider — and I will be there alongside them.

What I do

Accompany you to appointments, procedures, dialysis and infusions
Take you home after surgery and stay through the first hours
Listen to the discharge instructions with you, and write them down
Groceries, pharmacy pickups, errands, returns, mail and deliveries
Meal preparation, dishes, laundry and light household order
Company, conversation, walks, church and outings
Spanish and English interpretation at appointments and on calls
Scheduling, coordination, and a written note to your family after every visit

What I don't do

Bathing, toileting, dressing, or physically transferring a person
Administering medication of any kind
Wound care, injections, catheter or ostomy care
Taking vitals, blood glucose, or any clinical measurement
Any nursing task, assessment, or medical advice
Emergency medical response — in an emergency I call 911 and stay with you

Questions people actually ask.

Will it always be you?

Yes. Today this is one person, and that is the point — you will know who is coming to the door. If that ever changes, you will meet the person before they ever arrive on their own.

Can you help in Spanish?

Yes. Spanish and English, both fluent, including at appointments where someone needs to understand exactly what the doctor said. Esta página también está en español.

My mother doesn't think she needs help.

Most of them don't. I don't arrive as a caregiver. I arrive as someone who is going to the store anyway and would like the company. The rest follows on its own, or it doesn't, and that's her decision to make.

How do I pay?

After the visit, by card, transfer or check. Adult children who live out of state usually put a card on file and get the invoice by email along with the note.

What if we need more than you can do?

Then I'll say so, and help you find the licensed provider who can. I would rather tell you that on the first phone call than take a job I'm not the right person for.

Not sure which one you need?

That's normal. Call and describe the situation — I'll tell you honestly what I think, including if the answer is "not me."
