Care options in Katonah
Senior companion care, on the schedule you need
In New York we provide companion care only, and it can run by the hour, overnight, live-in or around the clock. That means company, meals, light housekeeping, errands, rides to appointments and regular updates for the family. Tell us what the days and nights are like and we’ll talk through the schedule with you.
- Hourly careHelp for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days. Easy to add to as needs change.
- Overnight careA caregiver who stays awake through the night hours, there when someone wakes and ready to help them settle again, so everyone in the house gets some rest.
- Live-in careA caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house. Agreed rest time, including a night's sleep, is part of the arrangement.
- 24-hour careCaregivers work awake shifts, usually two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts, so someone is up and ready to help at any hour of the day or night.

Katonah is part of the Town of Bedford
Katonah is a hamlet with its own main street and station, and its town services come from the Town of Bedford. The town senior program is at 21 Park Avenue in Bedford Hills, a short drive away.
County Bee-Line ParaTransit runs only within three quarters of a mile of a regular Bee-Line route, which covers the area near the hamlet center but not most of the lanes. A companion can drive your parent to the senior program, into the village, to appointments and back.
At home, a companion can offer conversation, shared activities, everyday meal preparation and light household routines, and the family gets factual updates on the visits.

Credentials and recognition
Questions Katonah families ask
Does Katonah have its own senior center?
Katonah's senior program is the Town of Bedford's, at 21 Park Avenue in Bedford Hills. A companion can drive your parent there and back.
My father is still independent. Is it too early to call?
It doesn't have to be. A few companion visits a week for conversation, an outing or a ride to an appointment can be a gentle start, and you can add more as needs change.
Can someone stay overnight?
Yes. A companion can stay awake through the night hours, live in, or work shifts around the clock. We'll talk through which schedule fits the nights you're thinking about.
How do families pay for companion care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your parent has a long-term care insurance policy, we can help with the policy paperwork. Medicare doesn't pay for ongoing daily help at home.
