“Life’s Most Urgent Question. What Are You Doing for Others?” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Choosing to serve as a private companion/caregiver is truly answering a most noble call. It means dedicating your life to the comfort and care of others.

A

private companion/caregiver answers this call with the full knowledge that the work is often done behind the scenes and with little fanfare. But the caregiver knows.

The private companion/caregiver knows that it is the kind word that nourishes the soul. The listening ear that builds connection. And the gentle touch that makes each day better.

The private companion/caregiver knows it is they who are missed most when they are away. The caregiver knows that without them, health would not improve, happiness would be missing, and hope diminished. The caregiver knows without the caregiver, there is no care.
