The demand for at-home companion care is significant. Approximately 41 million Americans provide unpaid care to adults over 50. By 2030, all baby boomers will be over 65, significantly increasing the need for elder care services. Notably, 77% of adults aged 50 and older would prefer to receive care in their own home. It’s abundantly clear that the elderly want to age in place.

Companion is an innovative app designed to connect registered caregivers with elderly individuals in need of at-home support. Our platform ensures high-quality, personalized care while providing peace of mind for families.

What sets Companion apart is our unique matching process. We go beyond basic care needs, considering:

• Personal interests and hobbies

• Personality compatibility

• Cultural and language preferences

• Specific care requirements

This approach ensures that seniors are matched with caregivers who can provide not just care, but genuine companionship. Companion utilizes a user-friendly swipe-to-match interface, similar to popular dating apps, allowing seniors or their family members to quickly browse potential caregivers. This intuitive system not only makes the process more engaging but also more efficient, with studies showing that users make decisions 20% faster when presented with a swipe interface compared to traditional selection methods.

Research consistently shows that strong social connections can significantly extend life expectancy and improve quality of life for older adults. In fact, studies have found that older adults with meaningful relationships and social support have a 50% increased likelihood to live longer than their peers with fewer connections.

Companion ensures your loved one receives care from someone who feels like a trusted friend, not just a caregiver. This is crucial, as friendships in older adults have been shown to have stronger associations with psychological well-being compared to family relationships.
