Why a companion?
Nearly 1 in 4 older adults are socially isolated, and isolation can impact health as much as smoking or obesity. DayMaker Companion provides regular connection to support both social and physical well-being.
01
Combat loneliness and isolation
Regular visits that foster connection, emotional support, and purpose, which are powerful tools in combating the isolation and loneliness linked to serious health risks in older adults.
02
Support with chronic condition management
DayMaker Companion provides structured, wellness-focused visits that support chronic condition management by reinforcing medication adherence, encouraging evidence-based healthy behaviors, and promoting functional independence, contributing to improved health outcomes and reduced risk of complications.
03
Offer respite for family caregivers
Compassionate, professional visits give family caregivers time to rest and recharge while knowing their loved one is cared for with experience, intention, and trust.
04
Promote independence and confidence
The impact of functional tasks on independence is significant. When seniors can manage daily routines safely, their confidence and quality of life improve. DayMaker Companion uses a certified coaching approach to support and encourage clients in staying active, organized, and engaged in their day-to-day lives.

Julie Parker
Owner
"With over 30 years of experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant and certified Life and Health Coach, I’ve seen how isolation and lack of support can deeply affect seniors, not just emotionally, but physically and mentally. Loneliness is a serious health risk linked to depression, heart issues, cognitive decline, and early death. I started DayMaker Companion to do more than help. We connect, uplift, and bring purpose to every visit. Whether someone lives at home, in independent living, or in assisted living, we tailor each visit to promote independence and meaningful engagement. Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is cared for with compassion and consistency, supporting health, confidence, and daily routines. At DayMaker Companion, we truly make life a little easier and a lot brighter."
