When companion care can help

Living alone can be fine for a long time. These are common signs a little company would help.

  • Quiet days that feel long

    Especially in winter, when going out is harder.

  • Fewer calls and visits

    Friends move away, and family lives busy lives.

  • Skipping things they love

    Church, cards or coffee with friends feel harder to get to.

  • Meals eaten alone, or not at all

    Eating together can make meals happen again.

  • No ride to get out

    Errands and outings are easier with someone to go with.

  • You worry when you can't check in

    Regular visits mean someone is there.

Sound familiar? A few hours a week is a good place to start.

Getting started takes one conversation

  1. Tell us what's going on

    Call us and share what you noticed and what a normal day looks like.

  2. Meet and make a plan

    We meet in the home, at our office, or by phone or video if you live out of town.

  3. Care begins, and adjusts

    Support starts on your timeline and changes as needs change.

Ways families pay for care

Every situation is different. We'll walk you through what may apply before care begins.

Private pay

Pay for the hours you choose. Start small and adjust.

Long-term care insurance

Some policies cover in-home care. We can help you check yours.

Aged and Disabled Waiver

Some older adults may qualify for in-home support through this Nebraska Medicaid program.

Paid family caregivers

Already caring for a family member? You may qualify to be paid for the care you give.

Eligibility depends on the program and the person receiving care. We can't guarantee approval or a payment amount. Medicare generally does not cover ongoing non-medical care at home.

Questions about companion care

What is companion care?

Non-medical help with the social and everyday side of life: company, conversation, meals, outings, errands and light help around the house.

How often can visits happen?

Some families start with one or two visits a week, others want more. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll plan around it.

Mom says she doesn't need help. What then?

That's very common. We start with what she enjoys and wants to keep doing herself, so it feels like a visit, not a takeover.

What does non-medical in-home care mean?

Practical, everyday help at home: meals, errands, rides, companionship, light housekeeping and personal routines like bathing and dressing. We aren't a home health or nursing service, so there's no medical treatment involved.

What areas do you serve?

Lincoln and the surrounding area first, plus Omaha and communities across Nebraska. If you're not sure we reach your town, just ask.
