Caring Companion Caregivers provides structured companionship, personal care assistance, and in-home nursing support across Oregon City, Portland, and Clackamas County. We deliver scheduled shifts starting at 2 consecutive hours, staffed within 24 to 48 hours of your completed intake assessment.
Isolation degrades cognitive stamina and daily confidence faster than physical aging. Our companionship visits re-establish rhythm through regular social presence.
Visits run at a two-hour minimum, staffed within twenty-four to forty-eight hours of your in-home intake assessment. Caregivers sit down for card games, dominoes, and reading aloud. They walk alongside clients through neighborhood parks and accompany them to grocery shops, hair appointments, or the local library.
Companionship rates range between $26.48 and $45.00 per hour depending on scheduled hours, weekend coverage, and mobility requirements. We do not provide clinical therapy or promise cognitive reversal. We deliver consistent, attentive conversation and reliable companionship that keeps adults connected to their community.
Bathing, dressing, and commode transfers require physical leverage, safety equipment, and quiet respect for individual privacy.
Personal care assistants arrive with transfer belts, nitrile gloves, and non-slip safety footwear for shower transfers. We assist with morning dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, and safe bed-to-chair transfers using slide sheets or walker support. Every movement follows the client's natural pace to prevent falls and maintain personal dignity.
Personal care assistance is billed at $26.48 to $45.00 per hour. The final rate depends on transfer complexity, whether two-person assist is needed, and whether shifts fall on nights or weekends. Shifts run 2 to 4 hours typically. We do not perform surgical wound packing or invasive sterile procedures during personal care visits.
Notice of Non-Acute Status: Caring Companion Caregivers provides supportive non-acute home care and daily living assistance. Our services do not replace a licensed medical physician, acute hospital care, or emergency medical response services.
Prescription regimens fail when schedules slip or instructions blur. We cross-reference every dose against your physician's written care plan.
Medication management records every dose against your physician's written order sheet on a physical and digital log. Our caregivers provide verbal reminders, confirm seven-day pill organizer compartments, track pharmacy refills, and report missed doses directly to family members and healthcare supervisors. Medication management is billed at $26.48 to $45.00 per hour.
Professional nursing services are delivered at a fixed rate of $39.40 per hour. Nursing visits encompass in-home vitals observation, manual blood pressure readings, pulse oximetry tracking, catheter care assistance, and dressing change coordination. Our agency does not diagnose illnesses, prescribe medications, or provide acute emergency interventions.
Care begins with verification, not improvisation. Here is the operational cadence from first inquiry to ongoing shift delivery.
We meet at the residence in Oregon City or Portland to inspect entry thresholds, bathroom grab bars, medication charts, and mobility pathways.
Owner Gemma Ben Sunga and Manager Andrea Gillam pair a trained caregiver based on schedule, mobility aids, and required personal care tasks.
Caregivers check in on schedule for 2 to 4 hour shifts, completing daily activity logs, sanitising spaces, and recording every medication reminder.

Founded early 2023 by Owner Gemma Ben Sunga and Administrative Manager Andrea Gillam, our leadership combines over 38 years of practical care experience.
We are a 100% women-owned and managed home care agency based at 502 7th St Ste 208D in Oregon City, Oregon. We operate with transparent directory profiles across AgingCare and CareListings, providing families with verifiable public credentials.
Every caregiver on our team undergoes comprehensive criminal background screening, reference verification, and hands-on mobility transfer training before stepping inside a client residence. We never deploy unvetted third-party contractors.
Selecting home care is a critical family decision. We answer common objections directly and honestly.
Our services are not for individuals requiring continuous mechanical ventilation, intensive ICU-level monitoring, unmanaged violent behavioral crisis, or emergency medical resuscitation. We do not operate an ambulance, emergency room, or inpatient medical facility.
Before any visit takes place, our team conducts a formal in-home safety evaluation, completes an intake agreement, and reviews physician orders where nursing tasks or medication management are involved. This ensures safety for both the client and our staff.
Visits under two hours result in rushed transfers and compromised safety. A two-hour window ensures thorough personal care, proper sanitisation, and unrushed companion connection.
Begin with a confidential in-home care consultation. We reply to all inquiries within 24 to 48 hours.
