Who we help
The right support for every family situation
Whether you've just received a diagnosis or you've been caregiving alone for years — we've helped families in exactly your situation.
Managing care from a distance
You live in a different city and worry every day about your parent being alone. We become the consistent local presence your family can't always be.
Burnt-out family caregivers
You've been the primary caregiver for months and your own health is starting to suffer. We step in so you can rest, recover, and come back renewed.
Newly diagnosed families
Your loved one has just been diagnosed and you're trying to understand what care should look like. We help you navigate the road ahead — practically and emotionally.
The challenges families face
We understand what you're going through
Families tell us the same things when they first reach out. We've heard every version of these struggles — and we've built our entire service to solve them.
A different stranger every visit
Inconsistent care is deeply unsettling for people with dementia. New faces cause anxiety and setbacks. Most agencies rotate staff — we don't.
Caregiver burnout that sneaks up on you
The weight of full-time caregiving is invisible until it becomes a crisis. Most families don't seek help until they're already running on empty.
Not knowing who you can actually trust
Letting someone into your loved one's home requires absolute confidence. Finding screened, trained, genuinely caring support feels overwhelming when you're already stretched.
Why families choose us
What makes Dementia Companions different
These three things are what families tell us matter most — and what we've built our entire approach around.
Matched by personality, not just availability
We do not assign whoever is free. We match companions by personality, interests, and background — because getting the match right is what turns a visit from tolerated to genuinely looked forward to.
The same face, every single visit
Consistency is medicine in dementia care. We deliberately work against the rotation model — investing in a single relationship that can deepen over months and years.
100% AHCA Level 2 screened & trained
Every companion passes Florida's highest background standard before training even begins — covering dementia communication, de-escalation, safeguarding, and emergency procedures.
What you get
Everything your family needs, nothing you don't
Four things that make a real difference in the day-to-day experience of families we support.
One familiar companion builds a real bond
No rotas, no strangers. The same person visits each time — building the kind of trust that only comes from showing up consistently, week after week.
Flexible visits — 2 hours to full day
Short afternoon visits or all-day cover while you work. We build a schedule around your family's life, not ours — and adjust it as needs change.
Brief notes after every single visit
You always know how your loved one is doing. After each visit, we share a short update — what they did, how their mood was, anything the family should know.
Activities tailored to your loved one
Music, walks, reminiscence, crafts, garden visits — every activity is chosen around your loved one's own history, preferences, and energy on the day.
Care plans
Flexible support that fits your family

Real stories from real families
Every story is different. Every outcome matters. Here's what families across Florida have to say.
★★★★★"When Mom was first diagnosed, we felt completely lost. Dementia Companions didn't just send a carer — they matched her with someone who truly became part of our lives. Her face lights up the moment she arrives. As a family, we can finally breathe again."
★★★★★"After my husband's diagnosis, I was running on empty. Having a companion visit three times a week has changed everything. He is calmer, more engaged, and I get a few hours just for myself again. I wish we had found this service two years sooner."
★★★★★"We were skeptical at first — Dad is fiercely independent and doesn't take well to strangers. But they took so much time finding the right match. Within three weeks he was asking when his 'friend' was coming. We could not believe it."
★★★★★"The thing that struck me was how human the whole process felt. Nobody used jargon or rushed us. They just listened and helped us work out what we actually needed. The care itself has been equally thoughtful. I cannot recommend them enough."

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Removing any doubts before you pick up the phone. Can't find what you're looking for? Ask us directly.
- What does a dementia companion actually do?
- A companion visits your loved one at home and provides consistent, warm company — conversations, memory activities, gentle walks, music, or simply sitting together. They are trained to communicate calmly with people at every stage of dementia, and to notice changes that matter to the family.
- How quickly can care begin?
- In most areas we can arrange an introductory meeting within 48 hours of your first call and begin regular visits within the same week, depending on the level of support needed.
- Are your companions background checked and trained?
- Yes. Every companion passes Level 2 AHCA background screening — Florida's highest standard — before training begins. Training covers dementia communication, de-escalation, safeguarding, personal care, and emergency procedures.
- Can I use this service just for caregiver respite?
- Absolutely — respite is one of our most-used services. When your companion visits, you can rest, run errands, or take time for yourself, knowing your loved one is in safe, trained hands.
- What areas of Florida do you serve?
- We currently serve Miami-Dade, Hillsborough County (Tampa), Collier and Lee counties (Naples and Fort Myers), Palm Beach County, and Sarasota and Manatee counties. New areas are being added — contact us if your city isn't listed yet.
- How much does in-home dementia care cost?
- Pricing is tailored to your location, schedule, and level of support — there's no single rate that fits every family. We offer a free, no-pressure consultation to understand your needs before giving you an accurate, honest quote. There are no hidden fees and no lock-in contracts.
