About Us

We strongly believe that even the smallest moments in someone's day can make a meaningful difference.

A Few Words from Our Founder, Michele Kilstein

Home care is something that is very personal to me.

Years before founding A Long Term Companion, my son was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. During that time, my family and I hired a local home care provider. While the experience wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t what I would consider truly good.

There was a different person in our home every day. Everyone was competent, but I don’t remember anyone being particularly warm or friendly, when even a simple smile would have meant so much. And when I had a question after hours, I could never reach anyone from the office.

That experience shaped everything about how A Long Term Companion operates today.

From the beginning, we have focused on providing a more personal, consistent, and responsive level of care.

More than 15 years later, these principles remain at the heart of everything we do.

What Families Are Saying
"Kudos to Michele and her team at A Long Term Companion for their professional, empathetic, responsive and exceptional service.

The caregivers and staff provide my family with the confidence that our loved ones have the support they require.

They are incredibly accommodating and nimble when something changes.

Simply said, Michele has created a superb business."
Michael O.
"I am very grateful to have found an agency with such high standards and quality care.

After a negative experience with another agency,  I was very hesitant to start the process again. After speaking with Michele, I was comfortable with starting home care for my mother.

The caregiver assigned is very kind, attentive, and compassionate. I can hear my mom chatting and laughing with her, and I feel she is very safe with her caregiver.

Michele will walk you through the process with no pressure."
Mary M.
"When our mom fell ill, my sisters and I were overwhelmed trying to figure out how to bring her home safely. I called about 6 other agencies before I reached Michele.

Unlike the others, she spent 45 minutes on the phone learning about our situation. She showed a genuine interest and compassion and helped us understand our options.

Michele found a perfect match, and my sisters and I could not be more grateful. We could not have done this without the support of ALTC.  

We did not hire an agency, we were taken in by a family.

Anna O.
"As an Advanced Aging Life Care Manager in private practice for 20 years, I am often asked to recommend home care agencies.

Without reservation, I refer clients to A Long Term Companion because their aides are highly trained, competent, caring, and reliable.

Michele is responsive to each client’s needs, treats everyone as an individual, and will make sure that the home care experience matches their expectations.

My clients have not been disappointed."
