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 Mission
We are dedicated to transforming mental healthcare in long-term care communities through these core objectives:
Expand access to geriatric mental healthcare
Utilize the latest technologies for improved care coordination
Provide earlier diagnosis and treatment
Reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations
Reduce staff burnout and turnover
Improve care team coordination and communication
Help facilities achieve CMS 5-star recognition
Areas of Expertise
Our team specializes in treating a wide range of conditions commonly seen in long-term care settings:
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.
