Two visits a week
Tuesday and Friday, 10am to 2pm
Lunch together, a walk, laundry and a tidy kitchen. Good for a parent who manages well but is alone most of the week.
CompanionshipGetting started
Getting started takes one phone call.
No pressure and no paperwork up front. Here is exactly how starting care with Bradley will work once we open, from the first conversation to the first visit and beyond.
Step by step
From first call to first visit.
Four steps, with one of the owners involved in every one. Most of the work happens before your companion ever arrives, so the first visit feels natural instead of awkward.
-
01
A conversation
You call or fill in the form, and one of the owners talks with you about your loved one, their routine and what you’re hoping for. If Bradley isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so and point you toward someone who is.
-
02
A home visit
We come to the house and meet your loved one. We listen to how they like their coffee, what they enjoy, what’s hard, and who matters to them. Family is welcome to join in person or by phone.
-
03
A simple care plan and a match
We write a one-page plan in plain English: which days, which hours, what each visit is for. Then we choose a companion who lives nearby and suits your loved one’s personality and routine.
-
04
The first visit, and every one after
An owner introduces your companion in person. We check in after the first visit and keep checking in, adjusting hours or the plan as needs and routines change. You always have a direct line to us.
The home visit
What we’ll talk about at home.
The home visit is a conversation, not an inspection. It helps us understand the person, not just the tasks, so we can choose the right companion and write a plan that fits.
The person
Their history, interests, favorite foods, the shows they watch and the stories they love to tell.
The routine
When they wake, eat and rest; the parts of the day that feel long; when family is around.
The home
Kitchen, laundry, stairs and anything that has become harder to manage alone.
The family
Who to update, how often, and the best way to reach each of you.
Example schedules
Start small. Adjust as you go.
Every plan is built around your family. These examples show how schedules commonly start; you can add hours, change days or pause at any time.
Every weekday morning
Monday to Friday, 8am to 12pm
A good start to the day, a proper breakfast and lunch prepared, and household jobs kept on top of while family is at work.
Meals and home helpRespite and overnights
One weekend day, plus nights as needed
Time off for the family member who does most of the caring, and someone in the house overnight so everyone can sleep.
Family respiteHow Bradley will work
We're new, so we won't quote you a track record. Here is what we'll commit to from the first visit.
Owners you can reach
No call center. When you call, you'll talk to one of the people who run Bradley.
Screened companions
Every companion will be background-checked, reference-checked and insured before their first visit.
The same familiar face
We'll match on personality and keep the same companion week after week, so trust can grow.
No long-term contract
Start small, change hours or pause any time. You'll stay in control of the schedule.

What families usually ask.
Still wondering about something? Call (240) 230-7975 or read our guides for families.
How much will companion care cost?
Care will be billed at a simple hourly rate with no sign-up fees. Call us for details.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Visits are scheduled in blocks of a few hours so your companion has time to settle in. We will talk through what fits on your first call.
What if my parent doesn't click with their companion?
Tell us. We will make a new match, with no awkwardness and no extra charge.
Are your companions screened?
Every companion will be background-checked, reference-checked and insured before their first visit.
Do you provide medical or hands-on personal care?
No. Bradley Home Care provides non-medical companionship and household support. If more is needed, we will help you find a licensed provider.
When will you start providing services?
