Not just care for your dad. Getting to know him.

Caring for an aging loved one is one of the most loving things a person can do, and one of the most exhausting. Family caregivers often give everything they have, quietly setting aside their own health, relationships, and rest to show up day after day. Over time, that devotion takes a toll.

We believe that taking a break isn’t giving up. It’s how you keep going. We’ll personally connect you with a companion so you can step away, even for just a few hours, knowing your loved one is in warm, capable hands. Because the best care for your family member starts with taking care of yourself.

Our Standards

Exceptional professionals, genuinely caring people.

Every Silver Roots companion is hand-picked and fully vetted, chosen for both their professional standards and their personal warmth. On the professional side, we look for real experience, reliability, and training, including dementia-trained companions when your family needs that specialized support. Just as important is the personal side: patience, kindness, and the kind of person who listens closely, shows up every time, and makes your loved one feel truly seen.

Our Story

It started with a simple conversation.

Silver Roots Companion began with a gap too many families know well. Family caregivers were not asking for much. Just a few hours to exhale, run an errand, sleep, or simply sit in silence without being needed. But respite care rarely works that way. Most services require advance planning or long minimum commitments, and caregiver burnout does not schedule itself. That gap is exactly what Regina and Jennifer built Silver Roots Companion to fill.

Regina Browne has spent 13 years in elder care, supporting families through some of life's most tender seasons. She has pursued continuous training in dementia and Alzheimer's care, and treasures the quiet moments spent listening to her clients' stories, memories, and wisdom. Through that work, she has seen firsthand the growing need for compassionate support, not only for elders, but for the family caregivers who so often go overlooked.

Jennifer Kreiter has built her career caring for families as a prenatal and postpartum doula and newborn care specialist, bringing hands-on care, reassurance, and a calm, steady presence to families in their most vulnerable days. As a Montessori teacher, she learned to honor each person's dignity and independence, meeting people where they are.

Together, they built Silver Roots with a simple mission: to give families peace of mind and the reprieve they deserve, while creating a professional, sustainable path for caregivers to share their gifts with those who need them most.

“Your loved one can trust and depend on you. Now it is your turn.”
