Christian Companion Senior Care began in 2002 as a intriguing idea in the mind of founder and president Gary A. Brown. He thought, since seniors frequently struggle with loneliness, family dysfunction, regrets and depression, doesn't it make sense to provide care through a caregiver capable of providing both practical care and spiritual encouragement? 

Jesus' words, "man does not live by bread alone," resonate for seniors who live in clean homes, have enough to eat yet are lonely and have limited hope for the future. In addition, because in-home caregiving involves inviting a complete stranger into the most personal aspects of life, Brown felt that carefully screening caregivers about their values, beliefs and Christian commitment would provide an additional safety factor that many seniors would appreciate. 

In early 2004, Brown and his business partner, Chris Kincaid, requested legal research from Littler Mendelson, one of the foremost law firms specializing in employment law, examining the legality of hiring specifically Christian caregivers. 

By early 2007, Christian Companion Senior Care was ready to launch their second agency location in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On May 1, 2007, the Tulsa location opened under exceptional leadership. 

As the number of clients grew, it became apparent that Christian Companion Senior Care had developed a business model that offered uniquely beneficial living assistance.
