What we do
Homemaker and companion services
The ordinary work of keeping a household running — the part that gets hard first, and the part that most often decides whether someone can stay at home.
Laundry and linens
Washing, drying, folding and putting away clothes and bedding, in the home or at a laundromat.
Meal preparation
Planning and cooking meals to suit their tastes and any diet their doctor has set, plus cleanup and safe storage of leftovers.
Shopping and errands
Groceries, the pharmacy counter, the post office, the bank — with them, or on their behalf with a written list and receipts returned every time.
Escort to appointments
Rides to the doctor, dialysis, the senior center or church, with a caregiver who walks in with them and waits.
Companionship
Conversation, cards, a walk, reading the mail together, a standing visit on the calendar. Isolation does real damage, and this is the part families underestimate.
What we don't do — and we'd rather tell you now
J & B provides non-medical homemaker and companion services. Our caregivers do not:
- give, administer or set up medications, or give injections
- provide hands-on personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting or transfers
- perform any nursing task, wound care or medical monitoring
- give medical advice, or make health decisions for a client
If what your family needs is personal care or skilled nursing, say so on the first call. We will tell you plainly that it is outside what we do, and point you toward the kind of provider who can help.
Getting started
Three steps, usually inside a week
You call
Tell us what's going on at home. Fifteen minutes on the phone is usually enough to know whether we're the right fit — and we'll say so if we're not.
We visit
A free visit at the home to meet everyone, walk through the house, and write down exactly which tasks are wanted, on which days, at which hours.
Care begins
We match a caregiver and set a standing schedule. Urgent situations start within 24–48 hours; routine starts within five business days.
Coverage
Five towns, covered properly
We'd rather serve a small area well than spread thin across the South Shore and leave caregivers stuck in traffic instead of in your parent's kitchen.

Who you're calling
A small agency, on purpose
I spent more than eight years in direct care before starting J & B — most recently as a team leader in a residential program, responsible for staff, schedules, documentation and the families who called when something wasn't right.
I started this company because I kept meeting older people who needed help with the laundry and a ride to the doctor, and were offered either nothing or a placement. The help in between is what J & B does.
We're deliberately small. I take the calls myself, I do the home visits myself, and if something goes wrong on a Sunday you are not leaving a message with a call center. That is the whole difference, and it only works at this size.
