Companion Care

Trusted Companionship That Brings Comfort, Connection, and Peace of Mind

As people age, spending more time alone can lead to feelings of isolation or concern about safety at home. A visit from a caring BAYADA companion can make each day brighter—and more secure. 

Our companions are trained, experienced, and supported by a registered nurse manager to provide the highest quality care. They spend meaningful one-on-one time—sharing stories, enjoying favorite activities, and offering gentle oversight and help around the home. If needs change, BAYADA can easily add personal care services—assisting with bathing, dressing, and meal preparation—to help your loved one continue to live safely and independently

Specialized caregiving options

We understand that some families have special situations that require a different way of providing support. That’s why we offer our full suite of personal care services tailored to meet those special situations and needs:

Caregivers trained in dementia care provide personalized help for clients living with memory loss. They understand how to manage challenging behaviors and create a safe, reassuring environment—bringing comfort to your loved one and peace of mind to your family. 

Short-term, occasional support for families who provide most of the care. This allows family caregivers to take vacations, manage work or personal commitments, or simply rest and recharge, knowing their loved one is in trusted hands.

One dedicated caregiver provides round-the-clock presence and assistance. This continuous care model ensures safety, companionship, and consistent support for daily needs. 

In select states, family members or friends can become paid caregivers through Medicaid waiver programs. BAYADA helps guide families through the eligibility and enrollment process, so the person you already trust can provide care—while receiving training, pay, and ongoing support from our team.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about our services, how we support you and your family, and more

The process for enrolling in Services with BAYADA is quick and easy. 

Call BAYADA 
A friendly team member will talk with you about what type of daily support is needed (eg, bathing, grooming, meal prep, companionship), as well as your living arrangements, preferences, and schedule. They will ensure you live within our service area, explain payment options, and discuss next steps. 

BAYADA accepts payment from a variety of payor sources. 

Private pay (Out-of-Pocket):
Services can be paid directly by the person receiving care or their family. We offer a payment plan to ease the expense of care.  

Long-term care insurance:
This type of insurance is commonly used to pay for personal care. Our team of insurance experts can help you take advantage of all the benefits you’re entitled to. We bill the insurance company directly, managing the entire process so you don’t have to.  

Medicaid:
We accept state-specific Medicaid programs that cover personal care services for eligible individuals (low-income, older adults, or those with disabilities). Approval and benefit levels vary by state. 

Veterans’ affairs:
Eligible veterans may receive service through their VA benefits. BAYADA works directly with VA offices to help coordinate care and authorizations for qualified veterans. 

Workers’ compensation:
If care is needed due to a work-related injury, Workers’ Compensation may pay for services.
