Companion Care

Intellectual stimulation and social enrichment provided by distinguished, educated Care Partners

Renewal Memory Partners was a pioneer in the development of companion services for people with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Recognizing the unique needs of early-stage memory loss, we employ companions who are college-educated, many with backgrounds in music, art, and theater. Our team of companions includes accomplished individuals of all ages – richly diverse in their fields of study, cultural interests, and talents.

We match clients and companions with shared hobbies, interests, and cultural backgrounds. A connection may center on a shared love of opera, ikebana, chess, archaeology, or world languages – the possibilities are myriad. Our goal is to lay the foundation for authentic, genuine connections between two individuals who can grow and learn from each other in unique ways.
