What a caregiver does in a medical emergency
The steps are simple and clear: call 911, stay with your loved one and keep them calm and safe, then notify the family and the office so everyone is informed and can respond.

Emergency response
Companion care is non-medical — but knowing what happens if something goes wrong brings real peace of mind. Here's our approach.
In any emergency, call 911 first. Companion caregivers are not a substitute for emergency medical services. Our role is to recognize when help is needed, get it quickly, and support your loved one and family.
The non-medical boundary
Companion caregivers do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical or nursing care. They provide supervision, companionship, and everyday support — and they know when a situation calls for professional or emergency help.
