Takes time to understand your loved one, then finds companions by personality and interests, not just availability. The same person stays your contact, so you never have to explain your family from scratch.
Your companion

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our values shape every match we make
At Dementia Companions, we believe the quality of a companion relationship shapes the entire care experience for your loved one. These three principles guide every match we make, and every decision we take on behalf of the families we serve.
01
Consistency above all
Dementia care is built on familiarity. We match once and we keep that relationship, the same companion, the same routines, visit after visit. No strangers, no surprises. Familiar faces reduce anxiety and help your loved one feel genuinely at home, even on harder days.
02
Personality-first matching
We don’t assign whoever is available. We interview families and companions to find a genuine personality fit, because a companion your loved one actually looks forward to seeing is a companion who can truly help. A good match makes every visit something to look forward to, not something to endure.
03
Screened for dementia care experience
Every companion is screened for dementia care experience, and you watch their video interviews before you decide. They understand communication, de-escalation, and how to create a calm, familiar environment. But beyond credentials, we specifically look for people with patience, warmth, and genuine empathy, because dementia care requires more than a checklist.

What is companion care?
Non-medical care at home: someone who spends regular time with an older person for conversation, activities, walks, meals together and supervision, so they are safe and engaged and the family gets a break. For someone with dementia, the companion's familiarity matters as much as the tasks.
What is the difference between companion care and a caregiver?
Caregiver is the broad word for anyone who looks after someone. Companion care is one kind: social and supervisory help without hands-on medical care. Personal care adds help with bathing, dressing and toileting, and home health care adds nursing and therapy ordered by a doctor.
How much does companion care cost per hour?
In Florida, non-medical home care usually costs about $29 to $35 an hour, depending on the area and the hours. Dementia Companions charges $35 an hour for 40 or more hours a week, with no contract, and you see the rate before you choose a caregiver.
Does Medicare cover companion care?
No. Medicare pays for medical care, including short-term home health care when someone is homebound and needs skilled care, but not for ongoing companionship or supervision. Families usually pay privately, and some use long-term care insurance, VA benefits or Florida Medicaid's Long-Term Care program.
How do I find a caregiver for someone with dementia?
Look for experience with dementia, patience and someone who can come regularly, so your loved one sees the same face. With us, you tell us about your loved one and we send 3 to 5 matched caregiver video profiles within 48 hours; you watch their interviews and choose who meets them.
