Eyes only — or hands tooCare at Home
The aide is kind. The timesheet looks fine. A Bodyguard is the licensed pair of eyes that tells you whether the care is actually happening — and the record is kept for you.
Just came home with new medications, or with a tube, an IV, a catheter, or a machine? A Bodyguard can take those hours.
You need professional eyes in the room — and a professional record in the file.
Help is already in the house.
It looks fine. The aide is kind. You still do not have a Bodyguard's eyes. You cannot tell early decline, a missed med, or skin going wrong — until it is obvious.
You hired the help. You are at work or out of town. On paper it looks fine. They do not. A camera cannot tell you if the bath, the food, or the meds happened.
Someone is in your home — a nurse, a CNA, an aide. You want a Bodyguard to look at you, not at their paperwork, and tell the people who love you the truth.
If they just came home with new medications, or with a tube, an IV, a catheter, or a machine, a Bodyguard can be in the house for the landing. If help is already there, we come once in a while. We look at the person first.
After they send you home, a Bodyguard can take the landing. We make the machines work. We make the rest ready. After that, we are the clinical eyes you do not have.
Just home from the hospital, or already home with help.
Eyes in the room. Help is already in the house. We look. We do not take over that nurse or those CNAs.
Hands-on. Just discharged, or the coverage broke. If no nurse is there, the Bodyguard does the work for these hours. If your own nurse is already there, we watch and we document.
Eyes in the room · it looks fine
Licensed visits on a schedule you set. Weekly or twice a month in the first month after discharge; monthly is usual after that — or sooner if something already feels wrong. Skin, meds, mood, food, whether the nurse and CNAs on duty are actually doing the job — including on the days you are sitting right there.
Keep a Bodyguard in the houseEyes in the room · something feels off
One visit, soon. Person vs care plan vs what they said they did. For when you cannot be there, or when you are there and something already feels wrong.
Check the house onceHands-on · the coverage broke
Been home a while and the coverage broke. The nurse didn't show. The agency has nobody this week. The family who covers is away. The next agency is still weeks from starting. A Bodyguard takes the hours while you line up what comes next — blocks of 12, 24, or 48 hours, or a week or two.
Cover the gapHands-on · just discharged
Just came home. Blocks of 4, 12, 24, or 48 hours.
Request hours in the houseHands-on · the week after
The first 48 hours are the danger. The first week is the risk. Covered through the week.
Cover the first weekHands-on · longer landing
Some landings take longer — a trach, a vent, wounds that prove slowly. The same Bodyguard through the second week.
Cover two weeksJust leaving the hospital? That is also the hospital door. No nurse or aide in the house — just a serious illness? That is Your illness. Nursing Home, Memory Care, or Assisted Living? That is the facility door.
If help is already in the house, we do not take over that nurse or those CNAs. We do not fight in front of your person. We do not break the routine.
If they just came home and you hired us for the landing, we are the Bodyguard in that house. We make the machines work. We make the rest ready. After that, visits. Not a second company living there.
It is documented for you the day it happens, and kept for you even if you never need it.
A Bodyguard's record is a licensed record — documented as it happens, by a licensed healthcare professional, only for you, not for the house. Start while it looks perfect. That is your baseline. If later a doctor, an agency, or your lawyer needs to see how it was — from the hospital discharge through the first weeks at home — it is already there. You can ask for it.
What we will not promise: that we will stay forever or fire the aide. After the landing, we visit. You decide. If ongoing care is the answer, we say so — and help you land it.
If they just came home with new medications, or with a tube, an IV, a catheter, or a machine, say so. If you already have help and need eyes, say so. Tell us what is in that house, and the hours you need. A Bodyguard comes to the house.

This is the landing. Going home with something in you or on you. We take the first hours in the house, so you are not signing whatever they hand you on the way out.
We make the machines work. We make the rest ready. The landing has to be orderly first. Tell us the hours. A Bodyguard comes to the house.
Paperwork-only is a weak visit. The notes will say the care happened. The body is what tells you if it did. We use the care plan and the med list only as a check against what we see.
