Being a good Companion
We are willing to do nearly any task that can aid an individual in remaining independent.
We cannot do tasks that are considered “skilled-nursing,” such as wound care, administering medications or lifting clients that cannot bear weight. If these tasks are needed, we will be sure to communicate this need with the client and/or loved ones.
How We Do Business
It is our goal to provide Premium Companion Services at a competitive price for everyone that we serve. Individuals are not just paying for Companion Care, but they are also paying for someone who can guide them moving forward !
All fees are Private-Pay, we do not bill Medicare or private insurance. We are happy to work with your Long-Term Care Insurance company to help with your reimbursement.
Skyline is a company that you can depend on, staffed with individuals with extensive human services experience.
To get started with Skyline In-Home Services, it is as simple as a phone call or email. A big part of our
mission is to provide services promptly and to return all inquiries as quickly as possible. We recognize
how frustrating it can be to find services when there is no callback. It is our promise that we will get
back in touch with you promptly. After receiving an inquiry, we will contact the individual to
set up a Free Consultation. This meeting will help us get acquainted with the individual,
as well as ensuring that Skyline In-Home Services is the appropriate level of care.
