How It Works Here

  • Companion visits on a regular basis, with the senior choosing their companion
  • Activities include preparing and sharing meals together, watching movies or television programs, working on crafts, scrapbooking, listening to music, and conversation about memories
  • Companions help seniors make video calls with family members—setting up devices, starting calls, adjusting cameras, and troubleshooting simple technology issues
  • Companions encourage new hobbies and help seniors shop for hobby supplies
  • Matched through an intake consultation to determine care and lifestyle requirements, with referral of compatible caregivers from their registry

What Stands Out About Better Living Home Care

  • Operating since 2001
  • Founder has over 25 years' experience as a health care executive
  • No minimum weekly service requirement; families choose the level of service needed
  • Compatibility Guarantee ensuring 100% satisfaction with caregiver match
  • 24/7 personal service with real staff available to coordinate care, including rapid placement even on short notice
  • Large registry of personally selected caregivers; families may interview candidates and request replacement if not satisfied
  • Emphasis on continuity—priority given to maintaining long-term relationships with the same caregiver
