Start w/the doctor: Start with your loved-ones doctor and his/her staff. Explain what you need and enlist their help. Depending on the degree of illnesses age, mental state, mobility, etc., the doctor will help start you in the right direction. Then check references, etc. Good luck.

Contact: Please contact to a local or county senior service. It has a list of agencies that provide care for the elderly. Once you pick an agency, find the right matchmaker for the companion. Please note that if you found it on newspaper ads, make sure that this person has fully bonded insurance and provides references from previous care.
