Daisy's Companion

Non-medical Companionship Service for the Elderly or Disabled

People are social beings. It's an innate trait, undeniable, and inescapable, seated deep in the brain. When we don't socialize, people lose emotional feeling, recognition of the emotional significance of family and friends, and any concept of social worlds. In essence, isolation breeds loneliness, sorrow, tears, and a magnitude of loss.

Daisy's Companions bridge that gap. We are a non-medical provider that caters to elderly, disabled and home bound clients. What we provide is companionship. A relief from solitude, isolation, and seclusion that often accompany being disabled or elderly.
