Caregiving is a rewarding profession that provides assistance and support to aging adults, disabled persons or those in recovery who are in need of physical, practical, emotional and sometimes medical assistance. This guide can help you discover if caregiving is right for you.
Cherished Companions provides a variety of services that can range from running errands, grocery shopping, personal care, homemaking, transportation and even assistance from licensed care professionals.
Depending on what exactly your loved one’s needs are, home care and caregiving services are available 24-hours a day or part-time. Some of the services available to you include:
Personal care:
Homemaking:
Companionship:

We believe strongly in hiring only those who believe caregiving is a calling, not a job. We hold a series of interviews, background checks, and meetings to assess whether or not a candidate are the perfect fit for our agency. The employee screening process starts with the completion of an application that, if approved, is followed by several in-depth interviews that selects the best caregivers with a heart for care. Additionally, a fingerprint background check through the state of Ohio is run and reference checks are completed to screen our candidates.
Our caregivers do not administer medications, but are able to help with reminders. Medications reminders are one of the most important services we provide to ensure your loved one continues their independence and remain healthy. We can also report any side effects and problems your loved one might be experiencing due to their medication.
We work closely with our families to create a personalized plan of care and match a caregiver that best fits you or your loved one’s needs.
We seek to match the personalities and interests of our staff and our clients, in order to provide the most harmonious, compassionate care possible. Upon request, we can arrange for interviews to personally select a caregiver. In the rare occurrence when it is needed, we try to accommodate any requests for a change in caregivers, as allowed by law.
Additionally, we offer a free assessment to determine the needs in the home.

We hope to create a long-lasting caregiving relationship with your loved one. We understand the importance of trust and comfort between a client and their caregiver.
There are occasions where one of our clients will receive care from a team of caregivers. This can sometimes happen for clients who need 24 hour care or many hours throughout the week.
The costs of home care vary based on individual needs. Once we create your personalized plan, we can better determine the costs. The primary factor that plays into the cost is how many hours are needed throughout the week. Some families may need 24 hour care, while others may need a few hours of assistance to relieve the primary caregiver (often times a spouse, family member or family friend). We are committed to working with families to ensure they are able to afford this important service.
