Christian Companion Senior Care

Christian Companion Senior Care began in 2002 as an intriguing idea. Since seniors frequently struggle with loneliness, family dysfunction, regrets and depression, it makes sense to provide care through a caregiver capable of providing both practical care and spiritual encouragement.

In early 2004, Christian Companion Senior Care opened its first location in Oklahoma City. By May 2007, Christian Companion Senior Care was ready to launch their second agency location in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

As the number of clients grew, it became apparent that Christian Companion Senior Care had developed a business model that offered uniquely beneficial living assistance.

Franchise Opportunity - Why Christian Companion Senior Care?

Proven concept. Christian Companion Senior Care locations throughout the nation have proven that many seniors prefer caregivers trained to provide both practical daily care and spiritual encouragement. Often we are told that when given the choice, seniors naturally choose Christian Companion over our competitors because they want a caregiver who shares their faith and values.

Unique mission. Because the mission of Christian Companion Senior Care involves the provision of both practical care and spiritual encouragement, we are legally structured to hire Christian caregivers. None of our current competitors can hire on this basis and this key foundational advantage enables us to provide care that touches the heart and brings joy to the spirit.

Exceptional caregivers. Hiring caregivers who want to serve the Lord by serving others has resulted in an unsurpassed reputation for care giving excellence. Our caregivers tend to go the extra mile for a client, often doing far more than a caregiver only motivated by a paycheck. Caregiver excellence always shows up on the bottom line as well as in the gratitude of our clients for the peace of mind we provide.
