We strongly believe that even the smallest events
in one's day can make a big difference.
A few words from A Long Term Companion's Founder, Michele Kilstein -
Home care is something that is very personal to me.
Years before founding A Long Term Companion, my son was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and on one occasion, my family and I hired a local home care provider. While our experience with that provider wasn't terrible, it was not what I would consider particularly good.
There was a different person in our home every day. Everyone was very competent, but I do not remember anyone being friendly, when even just a smile would have been so appreciated. And when I had a question after hours, I could never reach anyone from the office.
At the time, I did not realize that I'd soon be running my own home care organization.
My experience as a home care client deeply influences how A Long Term Companion cares for every one of the families who rely on us each day. From day one, we always focused on personal touch. I knew from my own experience that only hiring the most remarkable professional caregivers, and 24/7 availability by our admin team, would be vital to providing the highest quality of home care services.
And after over a decade of serving local families, these principles are still as important to us as they ever were.
With that being said, we recognize that inviting somebody into your home to care for you or your loved one is not a decision to take lightly.
At A Long Term Companion, we understand the importance of family, and we treat your loved one as a member of our own.
