Caregiver (Greenwood)

LifeSpan Companion Care puts a face on the idea of aging in place. It’s the face of caregivers who ensure seniors’ safety and independence wherever they call home. This could be their private home, independent or assisted living, a memory care campus or a long-term care community. “Companion” is a fitting name because we’re not doctors — we’re your friends. We’re around when you need us — on your terms. Our caregivers provide non-medical personal services, supporting seniors with dignity and giving their loved ones respite and peace of mind.
