Companion visits for Lawrence, Kansas seniors

Warm, non-medical companionship in the home, a hand with the everyday tasks and technology that pile up, and a written family update sent after every visit. Serving Lawrence, Douglas County, and the surrounding areas.

Who we serve

Built for families who can't be there every day

Whether you're in Overland Park, Kansas City, Topeka, or across the country, Lawrence Senior Support coordinates our companions as your eyes and ears in Lawrence. Every visit gives you the confidence of knowing, without having to be there.

We are a family care coordination platform. Our role is scheduling, coordinating, reporting, and keeping you informed. We connect your loved one with experienced, vetted companions who visit on your schedule, and we send you a written update within 2 hours after every visit ends.

  • Adult children living 30 minutes or 3,000 miles away
  • Families managing work, kids, and a parent's needs simultaneously
  • Anyone who wants consistent, affordable presence, not a 3-hour agency shift
  • Seniors who want good company and a hand with the list, not clinical oversight
  • Parents who would say no to "help" but yes to finally finishing the photo albums
The process

Simple from day one

Four steps from your first call to your first written family update.

01

Free consultation

We call you within 24 hours. You tell us about your loved one: their name, situation, any concerns. We recommend the right plan and answer every question.

02

We match and schedule

We match your loved one with a vetted companion and build a recurring schedule. You choose the frequency: once a week, twice, or three times. We handle the rest.

03

The visit happens

Your companion visits your loved one for 60 focused minutes: good conversation, a hand with whatever is on the list (the printer, the photo albums, the picture that needs hanging), and a friendly, attentive presence.

04

You get the update

Within 2 hours after the visit ends, you get a written visit summary and a family text. A friendly note, not a clinical report, telling you how it went and what they noticed.

What a visit can include

An hour of good company, and a hand with the list

Every visit is a real visit first. But most homes have a list that keeps getting longer: the printer that stopped working, the photo albums nobody has time for, the picture still leaning against the wall. Your companion is glad to help with it, and it is included in every plan.

What a companion will do

  • Sort photos, albums, and keepsakes
  • Hang pictures and light wall items (step stool only)
  • Sort mail, files, and paperwork together
  • Light household tasks and tidying
  • Printers, computers, tablets, and phones: setup, troubleshooting, and patient teaching
  • Set up and sit in on video calls with family
  • Talk through suspicious calls, emails, and mail
  • Work down the list you or your parent put together
  • Write the Companion Observation Summary after every visit

What a companion will not do

  • Anything medical or clinical, including medication reminders or handling
  • Hands-on personal help such as bathing or dressing
  • Ladder work, electrical, plumbing, or anything that needs a permit
  • Heavy lifting or moving furniture
  • Handling money, banking, or paying bills
  • Driving or providing rides

We say what we will not do on purpose. It keeps your parent safe, keeps us honest, and keeps every visit clearly non-medical.

Need something bigger done around the house? We will help you find the right local professional. Just ask on your free call.

Compare: Home health agencies in Lawrence require 3–4 hour minimum shifts, meaning a single visit costs $75–$175 elsewhere, with no written update. Our 1-hour visits start at $50 a week, each followed by a Companion Observation Summary, on a plan you can actually sustain month after month.

Need a different rhythm? We build custom plans too, like two hours once a week instead of one hour twice. Book a free 20-minute call and we will work it out together.

After every visit

You'll hear how it went the same day

Every visit triggers the same process: a friendly companion note sent directly to you and every family member you designate.

1

Visit completes

Your companion finishes their 1-hour visit and immediately submits their companion observation summary, a friendly, informal note about how the visit went.

2

Family text goes out

Within minutes, you receive a brief text update: who visited, how your loved one seemed, and any noteworthy moments. You're never left wondering.

3

Full summary within 2 hours

The complete companion observation summary is available to you and any family member you designate. A friendly, conversational record, not clinical language, not medical jargon.

4

Urgent concerns escalate immediately

If your companion notes anything that warrants immediate attention, our coordination team is notified in real time, and we contact you directly, not just via text.

Coordinating with someone outside the family?

With your written permission, the same summary can also go to anyone you name to receive it: a case manager, a hospice or palliative team, or a sponsoring church helping cover the visits. You choose who is on the list, it happens only with your written consent, and you can add or remove a recipient at any time. It stays the same warm, non-medical account of the visit, never a health assessment.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

A companion visit is a professional 1-hour in-home visit by an experienced, vetted companion: good conversation, a hand with the everyday tasks and technology that pile up (photo albums, a picture that needs hanging, a printer that stopped working), and a friendly, attentive presence. Lawrence Senior Support coordinates these visits as your family coordination platform. Our companions are not medical professionals and do not provide clinical services. Post-visit summaries are friendly companion notes, not medical assessments.
Visits start at $50 a week. Basic is 4 visits every 4 weeks (once weekly). Standard is 8 visits every 4 weeks (twice weekly; our most chosen plan). Premium is 12 visits every 4 weeks (three times weekly; for seniors who would enjoy the most frequent company). Every plan includes 1-hour visits, a companion observation summary, and a family text after every visit. No long-term commitment. For plan pricing, call us or book a free 20-minute call.
Whatever is on the list, within reason. Companions help sort photos and keepsakes, hang pictures (step stool only), sort mail and paperwork, tidy up, get printers, phones, tablets, and computers working, set up video calls with family, and talk through suspicious calls or emails. They do not do anything medical, hands-on personal help such as bathing or dressing, ladder work, electrical or plumbing, heavy lifting, handling money, or driving. Help with tasks is included in every visit at no extra charge. See the full list ↑
Every companion writes a brief, friendly observation summary after each visit. It covers your loved one's overall demeanor, what they did together, anything they noticed worth sharing, and whether any concerns were flagged. These are informal companion notes: warm, personal, and written in plain language. They are non-clinical companion records and do not constitute medical assessments, professional health evaluations, or clinical opinions of any kind. Read the full explainer →
Yes, with your written consent. By default the summary goes to you and any family member you designate. If you are coordinating with a case manager, a hospice or palliative team, or a sponsoring church helping cover the visits, you can name them as a recipient in writing. You choose exactly who receives it, and you can add or remove a recipient at any time. It is the same warm, non-medical summary either way, never a health assessment.
Our companions are independent professionals who coordinate with Lawrence Senior Support to deliver visits. All companions are background-checked before their first visit. They work with a strong standard of warmth, respect, and reliability. Premium plan clients receive priority companion matching and our consistency commitment, the same companion for your loved one as often as possible.
If there is a medical emergency, your companion calls 911 immediately and does not wait. They are not medical professionals and will not attempt medical intervention beyond calling for help and staying with your loved one until help arrives. For urgent non-emergency concerns, the companion marks their summary as URGENT, our coordination team is notified in real time, and we contact you directly. You will never be left to wonder.
Yes. While we do have a simple service agreement, you can cancel, pause, or change your plan at any time with reasonable notice. There are no long-term commitments. We believe families should stay because the service works for them, not because they're locked in.
Lawrence Senior Support is a private-pay companion visit service, at about $50 a visit. While Medicare and standard health insurance do not cover companion services, some long-term care insurance policies may, so we recommend checking your policy. Some Kansas assistance programs may also be applicable. We're happy to discuss options during your free consultation.
Most families choose Standard. Twice-weekly visits mean no more than 3–4 days pass without a visit. If your loved one has memory concerns, recent falls, or lives in significant isolation, we typically recommend Premium. Three times a week with near-daily updates gives families with real concerns the coverage they need. We'll guide you to the right plan during your free consultation call based on your loved one's specific situation.
