Keeping familiar joys alive, one visit, one moment at a time.
Early dementia doesn’t erase who someone is but unfamiliarity can slowly make the world feel unsafe. Backup Care Angels provides specialized, non-medical companionship and meaningful outings to help your loved one stay connected to familiar places, routines, and moments that bring comfort while those connections still feel reassuring and real.
WHY EARLY COMPANIONSHIP MATTERS
Introducing a companion when dementia is still mild gives your loved one time to build trust and comfort, so that as the disease changes, they don’t feel overwhelmed by “new faces.” Early rapport makes redirection easier, outings safer, and days more predictable.
Our approach supports:
-
Gentle routines
-
Familiar environments
-
Consistent companionship
-
Emotional stability
-
Cognitive engagement
-
Reduced anxiety and isolation
It’s not just about passing the time. It’s about creating days that feel safe, meaningful, and familiar.

Why I Created Backup Care Angels
This work began after walking beside someone who lived with moderate dementia seeing firsthand how familiarity, routine, and time spent in meaningful places brought him comfort and joy. It showed me how deeply individuals thrive when they feel understood, safe, and seen.
From that experience, I learned something essential:
It’s not just companionship — it’s connection.
And that connection must begin early to truly support them as dementia progresses. Backup Care Angel’s was created to offer families that same steady, reliable support.
