The term “SARA” is an acronym defining exactly what this unique family-owned business offers: Skilled, Attentive, Reliable, Assistants. For the most part, they help individuals with daily challenges who would like to remain in their homes, by matching them with competent companions or health caregivers.

“We strive to take home care to the next level,” said Director of Business Development and Marketing, John D’Angelis. “Our caregivers and companions not only help with patients’ daily activities, they are trained to tend to their social and emotional well-being. For example, if they make lunch, they will sit with the patient and engage in conversation. Depending on what the client likes, they may play cards, do crafts, take a walk or provide some other activity. We use profiles to pair clients with companions, matching similar interests and personalities. We have an excellent scorecard with that.”

SARA companions can fill an endless amount of needs. Whether medical or non-medical, they can be hired on an hourly, daily or live-in basis. Services can include cooking, bed changing, bathing, making sure medicine is taken properly, grocery shopping, doing laundry, accompanying the client to a doctor’s appointment, park, museum or special event. They can even be hired to be a private companion in an assisted living facility, a nursing home, or as a patient’s advocate in a hospital when the family cannot be present.

Taking care of a loved one can be overwhelming and draining, particularly for those in the “sandwich generation”… caught between raising children and being there for elderly parents. SARA Companion Services can be a life-altering solution.
