Thank goodness we discovered Deneen Johnson and her organization. She has developed a friendship and companionship through a loving, caring relationship. Her organization is a blessing and I highly recommend her.”

I highly recommend Home Companion, Inc.”

“Deneen and her team, especially Shaleema, are awesome! I was looking for someone to help with my 98-year-old father who has dementia. Deneen listened to my concerns and matched us with the right care. I get constant updates from caregivers, including health insights that others miss. I can’t say enough good things about Deneen, Shaleema, and the rest of the team.”
