About the owner

Meet Terri

After 30 years in marketing and communications management, Terri found her true calling in eldercare while caring for her own aging family members.

As a longtime Sun Prairie resident, she knows the neighborhoods, the clinics and the coffee shops her clients love. Her dog Olive often joins visits — and is usually the first one greeted at the door.

What Families Say

This road to Companion Care (getting both my parents to accept help) was a hard road to start, but you listened to what everyone needed and created a plan and ongoing care that served our family.
— Mariya B.
Thanks to Caring Companion I’m “living the dream” of staying in my own home.  Terri and her associates are smart, creative, efficient, and best of all, fun to be with.  They have become personal friends and I look forward to our times together.
— Jane C.
A few years after my husband passed and I was in my 90’s, keeping up with the house became overwhelming. Terri helps me stay organized and on top of things, picking up groceries, cooking an occasional meal, doing laundry, driving me to appointments, helping me with exercises, doing some downsizing, and whatever else I ask her to do.  More importantly she brings companionship and brightens my week. She has enabled me to stay in my home.
— Rita H.
In the months that we have been working together with Terri, both my husband and I appreciate how important and helpful Terri’s care for us will be in the coming years. She is a remarkable woman who sees what is needed and offers to take care of my needs. She is confident in her abilities to be there in any capacity that is needed. She is also very flexible and able to work around busy schedules to accommodate no matter what. I feel like she will never let me down.
— Sharron K.
I hired Terri because she was cheerful, competent, careful, and communicative.  And, these are the reasons I’d rehire her.
— Bill R.

Common Questions

How do I begin services with Caring Companion?

You begin with a free phone consultation, followed by an in-home assessment with Terri. From there we build a customized service plan, schedule your first visit, and adjust the plan on an ongoing basis as needs change.

What services do you provide?

We provide non-medical companionship and in-home assistance: companionship, meal planning and preparation, errands and transportation, light housekeeping, downsizing assistance, special projects and senior outings. We can work alongside medical providers when needed, but we do not provide medical care or personal care such as bathing or toileting.

What makes Caring Companion different from a home care agency?

Caring Companion is family-owned and founder-led: Terri and her team provide individual and dedicated care, so the same caregiver shows up every visit instead of a rotating roster of agency staff. It is not a franchise, there is no call center, and the person who answers the phone knows each client personally.
