At Care Companions, we believe that quality home care starts with genuine connection. Our team is dedicated to helping every Client feel seen, supported, and valued. From companionship to personal care, we’re here to make a meaningful difference, one visit at a time. In 2024, Care Companions was founded out of a deeply personal experience. While caring for his late grandmother, Lila, our Founder, Sullivan, saw firsthand the challenges families face when seeking high-quality in-home care.

At Care Companions, we are committed to delivering the exceptional standard of care Sullivan wanted for his own family. We believe that great care starts with great caregivers. That’s why we’ve built a caregiver-first culture by investing in, developing, and supporting our team so they can focus on what matters most: providing outstanding care to our clients and their families. By pairing this caregiver-centric approach with innovative technology, we empower our dedicated team to deliver compassionate, reliable, and personalized care.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Charleston has a range of resources available designed to support seniors and help them stay living independently for as long as possible. Local and government programs offer assistance with paying bills, home repairs and meal assistance. Contact the agencies below to find out more.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
