Companion care for a parent living with memory changes
When a parent in Melbourne, Palm Bay or elsewhere in Brevard is living with memory loss, steady company and a predictable day can make home feel safer and calmer. Grace & Glory provides that companionship. We are not a medical or memory care provider. Call (321) 985-2899 or book a free consultation.
What companionship can do
Many families searching for dementia care in Brevard find mostly memory care facilities. If your parent is still living at home and the main needs are company, structure and help around the house, a companion may be the right next step before any move.
Our caregivers keep the day familiar: the same morning coffee, a walk on a known route, music they love, photo albums and old stories, simple card games, folding laundry together, and a meal at the usual time. Calm, patient conversation and a predictable routine matter more than any activity.
What we do not do
We do not diagnose, treat or provide clinical dementia care, medication management, personal care such as bathing, or locked-unit supervision. If your parent needs that level of care, we will say so plainly and point you to the right kind of provider. The Brevard Alzheimer's Foundation and your parent's doctor are good places to start.

Questions from Brevard County families
1. Do you provide dementia care?
We provide non-medical companion care for seniors living with memory changes: company, routine, meals, errands and light housekeeping. We do not provide clinical dementia care or memory care.
2. Can a companion help a parent with early memory loss stay at home?
Often, yes. Regular company, a predictable routine and help with meals and errands can support a parent living at home, alongside guidance from their doctor.
3. What activities do companions do with a parent who has memory loss?
Familiar, low-pressure activities: walks, music, photo albums, simple games, cooking or folding laundry together, and calm conversation.
4. When is companion care not enough?
If your parent needs hands-on personal care, medication management, or supervision for wandering around the clock, they likely need a licensed provider or a memory care setting. We will tell you honestly during the consultation.
5. Are your caregivers background-checked?
Yes. Every Grace and Glory caregiver is background-checked before visiting a home.
6. How much does companion care cost?
It depends on hours and the kind of help, so we do not publish one price. We give a clear quote after the free consultation.
