At Caring Companions it’s our people that make the difference. When it comes to the way we serve our in home senior care clients, whether in our company owned locations or one of our franchises, our name says it all. We take the time and make the effort to carefully match our clients with the best caregiver, the right “Caring Companion” for them.

Our goal is to form and maintain, solid life enhancing relationships, between all of our clients and caregivers. No wonder we’ve grown to be the largest provider of private duty senior care in our home market and continue to expand by helping our franchisees learn and use our system to develop and grow their own senior care business.

In addition, our “Caring Companions” will assist with things such as meal preparation, grocery shopping and light cleaning throughout the house including vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, general cleaning, laundry and changing bed linens. Caring Companions also provides transportation for doctor appointments or general errands. Our caregivers can also help remind our clients to take their medications.

Founded in 2002, our president and founder, Mr. Patrick O’Hare, saw the need for top-quality assistance for the elderly through his family’s experience with his maternal grandmother who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer. Mr. O’Hare’s mother and her two sisters dropped everything to care for their mother around the clock. Though there were a lot of great stories, laughter and tears during those final days, the amount of strain it placed on the family was overwhelming. In the end, this great lady received outstanding care from her daughters until she passed away peacefully in her own home and surrounded by family and friends.

Most families just do not have the family members and time to do the same for their loved ones. Seeing a need, Mr. O’Hare decided that helping the elderly to safely live in their own homes with would be more than just a good business it would fill a need in his community. As a result, ADL Caring Companions was born. Our Dallas office opened in 2004 proving that our idea of in home private duty senior care was one that would work in other markets as well.

Companionship services are designed primarily for our clients with dementia when it is no longer safe for them to be left alone due to safety issues or if they are a flight risk.

However, companionship services are also beneficial for clients that can no longer drive and would like us to drive and accompany them on an outing.

The six basic ADLs are: Eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (walking) and continence. The reason that most seniors end up in a nursing home is due to needing assistance with ADLs. With help from Caring Companions, our clients receive assistance in their homes.

RESPITE CARE
Respite care is when a family member uses our services to give themselves some much needed time off from caring for their loved one. Caring for a loved one can often entail more hours than a full-time job. Without regular relief from the stress and strain, the primary caregiver is endangering their own health and safety. Our caregivers can provide a way to get the needed time off to prevent getting burned out.

MEDICATION SET-UP AND REMINDERS
As part of an overall plan of care, our caregivers remind our clients when it is time to take their medications. If needed, we provide nurses that can regular set-up pill boxes and reorder prescriptions.

MEAL PREPARATION
Our caregivers not only prepare meals for our clients, but they assist with the grocery shopping and meal planning. We are also able to prepare extra meals for our clients to heat up and eat later. A number of our clients have dietary restrictions and we are able to make sure that they are still eating nutritiously.

LAUNDRY
Our caregivers assist with laundry by washing, drying and folding clothes. We also will change bed linens.

LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING
Our caregivers assist many of our clients with maintaining a clean house. In the kitchen we clean up after any meal that we have prepared and served, but we also clean counters, sweep or vacuum the floor, mop the floor, take the trash out, and clean the refrigerator and other appliances. In the bathroom, we clean the tub, sinks and toilet. We also will mop and/or vacuum the floor. In the bedrooms we change the bed linens. In all rooms of the house we dust furniture, clean/vacuum the floors and tidy-up the area.

TRANSPORTATION
Our caregivers primarily provide transportation to our clients for doctors’ appointments, but we will provide transportation for whatever our clients need.

ABOUT OUR CAREGIVERS
Before we send a caregiver on a new client assignment we take the extra time to really know the client’s needs and wants. This is just one way that we provide the high quality and dependable service that we’ve come to be known for in Dallas and the other markets we serve.

We also take the time to really know our caregivers...their likes and dislikes as well as their strengths and areas where they may need some training and experience. Our screening process is very thorough. It’s in this way we can provide the kind of care that come to be known for.
