Companions in Care

About Us

Our mission is to transform mental healthcare in long-term care communities.

Our Story

Like many people, we were personally affected by the lack of mental health providers for seniors when we placed one of our own family members in assisted living. We watched as depression went untreated, behavioral needs went unaddressed, and quality of life deteriorated — not because staff didn't care, but because specialized mental health resources simply weren't available.

That experience became our mission. Companions in Care was founded to bridge the gap between what long-term care communities need and what mental health services are available. We bring psychiatric providers, licensed therapists, and support specialists directly into care facilities so residents can receive the treatment they deserve without the burden of transportation or fragmented care.

Today, we partner with facilities across Oregon to deliver comprehensive, integrated mental health services that improve outcomes for residents, reduce burden on staff, and strengthen the entire care team.

Our Approach

At Companions in Care, we believe in integrating care rather than fragmenting it. Our specialists work hand-in-hand with primary care providers, nursing staff, and facility leadership to deliver holistic treatment.

We combine medication management with counseling, behavioral interventions, and lifestyle modifications — including diet and exercise recommendations — to address the whole person, not just their diagnosis.
