Our story

Because We Care

We started Because We Care with a simple belief: every family deserves peace of mind, and every senior deserves companionship, dignity, and joy.

Our mission

Too many families face an impossible choice: caring for aging parents while managing careers, children, and lives hundreds of miles away. We believe there's a better way.

Because We Care connects families with carefully vetted, compassionate companions who provide the human connection and everyday support that makes life richer—and safer—for seniors living independently.

What drives us

  • ❤️Compassion first: Every interaction is rooted in genuine care and respect.
  • 🛡️Safety always: Comprehensive background checks and ongoing monitoring protect your family.
  • 🤝Trust earned: Transparent communication, detailed visit summaries, and 24/7 support.
  • 🌟Joy restored: Bringing smiles, stories, and connection to every visit.

The problem we solve

Millions of adult children care for aging parents from a distance—worried, exhausted, and stretched too thin.

The worry

"Is mom eating? Did dad take his medication? Is she lonely? What if something happens?"

The isolation

Seniors living alone often go days without meaningful conversation or human connection.

The distance

You want to be there for every doctor's appointment, grocery run, and coffee—but you can't.

How we're different

We're not a ride service. We're not a medical provider. We're something better: a bridge between your family and true peace of mind.

Companionship, not caregiving

Our buddies provide friendly visits, conversation, light errands, and genuine human connection. We don't provide medical care or personal caregiving—because those services require different expertise. We focus on what seniors need most: someone who cares.

Safety you can trust

Every companion undergoes comprehensive background checks: criminal history, identity verification, sex offender registry checks, and reference verification. We also conduct ongoing monitoring because your family's safety isn't negotiable.

Transparency always

No hidden fees. No surprises. You'll see clear pricing upfront, receive detailed visit summaries, and have 24/7 access to support. You're always in the loop about your loved one's day.

Built for families

Simple booking, secure messaging, and real-time updates mean you can manage care from anywhere. Whether you're across town or across the country, staying connected has never been easier.

Our commitment to you

We know you're trusting us with the people you love most. That trust is sacred to us.

Rigorous vetting

Every companion is background-checked, interviewed, and trained before their first visit.

Ongoing oversight

Continuous monitoring, regular check-ins, and immediate response to any concerns.

Your satisfaction

If you're not 100% satisfied with a visit, we'll make it right—no questions asked.

Always improving

We listen to feedback, adapt to needs, and constantly raise our standards.
