Companion care in Louisville, KY — a familiar face, so no one is alone.
Sometimes what a loved one needs most is company — someone to share a meal, run an errand, and keep the day steady and safe. Companion care, a senior sitter, a private-duty caregiver: whatever you call it, it is an experienced caregiver your family engages directly. Hallmark Homecare is a referral agency: we present the candidates, you choose, and the caregiver works for you.

“Immediately responded for a last minute overnight sitter for my sister. Very professional and the sitter was knowledgeable about senior care.”
Company that feels like family.
The same familiar face
Because you engage the caregiver directly, the same person can return week after week — a companion your loved one knows and looks forward to, not a rotating list of strangers.
Your eyes and ears
A companion who is there regularly notices a change — a missed meal, a harder day — and lets you know. Peace of mind for family who cannot always be there.
Experienced caregivers, chosen by you
We present seasoned caregivers with their background and experience; you interview and choose. They work for you, not us — and you decide whether to continue, at any time, for any reason.
Daytime company, evenings, or a steady routine.
Someone to share the day
A hand of cards, a favorite show, a walk, a story told again — the ordinary company that keeps a person engaged and home feeling like home.
A hand with the everyday
Meals prepared, light housekeeping, groceries and pharmacy runs, a ride to an appointment — help with the day-to-day so the day stays manageable.

Hallmark facilitates. You decide.
Hallmark
We answer the phone — a real person, days, nights and weekends — recruit and screen experienced caregivers, present candidates whose experience and availability fit the hours you need, and help coordinate getting started, weekly billing and year-end tax forms.
Your family
You interview and choose the caregiver, and engage them directly — the caregiver works for you, not us. You set the hours, the tasks and the routine, and direct the day-to-day care, with your nurse or care manager if you have one. We do not assess your loved one or write a plan of care.
Companionship care and a care companion for an elderly parent.
Families search for this as companionship care, a care companion, a senior sitter or companion care for the elderly — it is the same thing here: an experienced caregiver your family engages directly to be with your parent, on a schedule you set. Company and conversation, meals and errands, a steady routine, and someone who notices when something changes and tells you.
Where companion care fits.

Companion care, answered.
What does a companion caregiver do?
Whatever the day needs, short of hands-on medical care your loved one does not require — company and conversation, meals, light housekeeping, errands and appointments, a walk, help staying safe at home, and simply being present so no one is alone. You set the tasks and the routine; the caregiver works for you.
Is this the same as a sitter or a private-duty caregiver?
Families use all three words for private duty care at home. A senior sitter, a companion, a private-duty caregiver — it is the same idea here: an experienced caregiver your family engages directly to be with your loved one, on a schedule you set. We present candidates; you choose.
Can companion care be overnight, or around the clock?
Yes. Some families want a caregiver present through the evening and overnight; others build up to around-the-clock coverage with a small, steady team. You decide, and choose a caregiver comfortable with it.
Can long-term care insurance help pay for companion care?
Often, yes. Many long-term care policies reimburse care from a caregiver you engage through Hallmark. We take care of the provider side — the provider forms your carrier asks us for, and the paid invoices you submit; understanding your own policy and working with your carrier stay with you. Call us to get started.
